    do does
    go goes
    have has

    He always does his homework.

    The house has a swimming pool.

    Negative Statements
    • Use do not or does not before the main verb.

    I don't work on Saturday.


    She doesn't work on Saturday.

    Explanations
    Use the simple present tense to talk about things you do regularly, things that usually
    happen, and things that are always true. Use the base form of the verb when the subject
    is I, you, we, they, or a plural noun. Add -s to the base form of most verbs when the
    subject is he, she, it, or a singular noun.

    If the verb ends with the sounds ch, sh, s, x, or z, add -es when the subject is he, she, it,
    or a singular noun. When a verb ends with a consonant + y, change the y to i and add -es
    when the subject is he, she, it, or a singular noun.

    The verbs do, go and have have irregular present tense forms when the subject is he, she,
    it, or a singular noun. Add -es to do and go and change have to has. Note that the
    pronunciation of does is also irregular.

    The negative of the simple present tense is formed by putting do not or does not before
    the base form of the main verb. Do not add -s to the main verb even when the subject is
    he, she, it, or a singular noun.
