NEGATIVE FORM
When the subject is he, she or it, we add doesn't between the subject and the verb to make a
negative sentence. Notice that the letter S at the end of the verb in the affirmative sentence
(because it is in third person) disappears in the negative sentence. We will see the reason why
below.
INTERROGATIVE FORM
When the subject is he, she or it, we add DOES at the beginning to make the affirmative sentence
a question. Notice that the letter S at the end of the verb in the affirmative sentence (because it is in
third person) disappears in the question.
We DON'T use Do or Does in questions that have the verb To Be or Modal Verbs (can, must, might,
should etc.)
The Rest of the
Do/Does Subject Verb*
sentence
Do I / you / we / they have / need
a new bike?
Does he / she / it want etc.
