Who writes the lessons?
Professional language teachers write the vocabulary and grammar. If you spot a mistake, long-press the word to report it. Our team checks every report.
Each lesson explains the rule with examples, then you practice it in sentences.
Do & Does: Questions and Negatives
In the present simple, questions and negatives need the helper verb do.
- do / don't with I, you, we, they and plural nouns: Do you live here? I don't eat meat.
- does / doesn't with he, she, it and singular nouns: Does she speak French? He doesn't drive.
The full forms are do not and does not; in speech we usually say don't and doesn't.
After do or does the main verb stays in its base form, without -s: Does she speak? (not speaks), He doesn't eat meat (not eats).
A question word comes first: Where does your sister work? How often do you go to the gym?
In questions and negatives, the verb be does not use do: Are you ready? She isn't here.
