Description

In questo episodio, si spiega la grammatica-inglese ed il verbo do/does. The transcript: Hello, this is Robert at English 360. And today's podcast is about DO and DOES in English grammar. I'm going to be speaking slower so everybody can understand this, especially because this podcast is for beginner-level students. So let's start with DO and DOES and how we use these verbs as auxiliaries. So in the English language, we have present simple. For example, I live in the UK. She works as a shop assistant. If you want to make these sentences negative, you must use an auxiliary verb DO. So the negatives of: I live in the UK is I DON’T live in the UK. The negative of: She works as a shop assistant is She DOESN’T work as a shop assistant. So when do we use DO and when do we use DOES? For example: We use DO with first person I, with first person plural WE with second person YOU and with third person plural THEY. So we can say: I DON’T work as a shop assistant We DON’T live in the UK. They DON’T like eating fish. But if it's the third person singular we must use DOESN’T that’s DOES NOT. So you can say She lives in the UK Or She DOES NOT live in the UK He studies French Or He DOES NOT study French. There are two things to remember. One DOES NOT is the same as DOESN’T. You can say He DOES NOT study French Or He DOES NOT study French. It's exactly the same thing. Next thing to remember is when you use DOES in the third person singular, the normal verb loses its third form. For example, let's look at this example. He likes French. LIKES is the third person. He likes French. But the negative is he DOESN’T like French. Not LIKES, LIKE. This is because we are using DOES so we don't use the third form of the regular verb. DO and DOES can also be used in questions. For example
