When we make sentences into negative form
we have to memorise two important words
DON’T and DOESN’T
DON’T is used with I / YOU / WE / THEY
 I don’t walk to school everyday

DOESN’T is used with HE / SHE / IT
◦ She doesn’t walk to school everyday
 REMEMBER THAN WHEN MAKING USE OF DOES
YOU MUST TAKE OUT THE “S” FROM THE VERB
BECAUSE DOES ALREADY CARRIES THE “S”
