2) Put dont/doesnt before the verb to make a negative sentence.

3) Put Do/Does at the beginning of the sentence to make a question.

4) Use the simple form of the verb after Do/Does in a question and dont/doesnt in a negative sentence.

5) Put the frequency adverb beforethe verb or after Be.

verb ends in a vowel +consonant, double the consonant
and add -ing.
