`Who` subject negative questions - ( Who doesn't like dessert? ))

Post by slmhlm »

Hello everyone,

As we know that when we ask `Who` negative questions for interrogating the subject ;
we write ` Who doesn't like dessert? `

But in formal written style in academic style etc.,
should we seperate `not` ? →` Who does like not dessert?` How does it sound to natives?

Thank you...
