It's virtually impossible to start a non-question sentence with a word like did. You need a subject to begin with. For example: "Mary did the dishes." You can't say "Did Mary the dishes." because for one, it doesn't make sense, and two, placing the verb before the subject (or what's called subject-verb inversion) turns the sentence into a question. Even still "Did Mary the dishes?", though technically correct, is very archaic, and you'd never hear a native English speaker ask a question like that. Instead, you'd hear "Did Mary do the dishes?"

To make it clear from the start that you are asking a question. In English, the structure of the sentence tells you at once whether the sentence is a statement or a question. "He is a good student".
