AUXILIARIES
LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING RULES:

 Use DO with the pronouns I, YOU, WE, and THEY or with
nouns that can be replaced by those pronouns.
 Use DOES with the pronouns SHE, HE, and IT or with nouns
that can be replaced by those pronouns.
 Use DO and DOES to ask questions in the simple present.
Example: DO you like pizza? DOES she like hamburger?
 Use DO and DOES to say NO. Example: I DO NOT study
Math. She DOES NOT work.
 Use DO and DOES to say NO in an abbreviated form.
Example: We DON’T play baseball. He DOESN’T go to the
gym.
 Use DO and DOES to give short answers. Example: Do you
drink wine? Yes, I DO - No, I DON’T.
 DON’T use DO or DOES with the verb TO BE. WRONG: Douglas
DOES NOT IS a doctor. CORRECT: Douglas IS NOT a doctor.
 DON’T use DO or DOES with the verb CAN. WRONG: They DON’T
CAN speak French. CORRECT: They CAN’T speak French.
 DON’T add –S to a verb in a question or negation with the third
person if you are using DOES. WRONG: Lynette DOESN’T LIKES
strawberries. CORRECT: Lynette DOESN’T LIKE strawberries.
 DON’T ask a question without using DO or DOES. James plays
soccer? DOES James play soccer?
 DON’T say NO with verbs different from CAN or TO BE without
using DO or DOES. WRONG: They not write letters. CORRECT:
