PRESENT SIMPLE NEGATIVE

We form the present simple negative with the auxiliary verb do. When you use an auxiliary verb, the
auxiliary verb follows the form rule and the main verb does not change. The auxiliary verb is followed by
not.

In contraction form do not = don’t does not = doesn’t he/she/it does
I/you/we/they do
