“Do” vs. “Does”: How and When to Use Them (AUDIO Reading Included)

Recommended level: Beginner

Quick Reference

Do and does are the present simple forms of the irregular English verb do .

Do and Does are used in present simple statements and questions.

Do and Does can be used as main verbs in affirmative sentences ("He does the dishes every day"), or as auxiliary verbs in questions ("Where do you work?").

Do is used with the subjects I , you , we , and they , and with subjects which refer to these pronouns (" Do Dan and Teresa (they) have a car?").

Does is used with the third person singular subjects he , she , and it , and with subjects which refer to these pronouns ("Marcus (He) does his homework on Saturdays").

The negative form of do is do not (contracted form: don't ).

The negative form of does is does not (contracted form: doesn't ).

Do is an irregular English verb. Do and does are the present simple forms of do . Here are some example sentences with these verbs.

"Rita does yoga every morning."

" Do your best."

"I do the dishes and my wife does the laundry."

In these sentences, do and does are used as the main verbs. They describe the main action in each sentence. You can do many things . For example, you can do exercise, do a test, do a good job, or even do nothing. Now, let's look at some more examples of do and does as the main verbs in a sentence, and let's learn when to use them.

For the best learning experience, listen to the audio and repeat the example sentences below.

When to use do

Use do with the pronouns I , you , we , and they , and with subjects which refer to these pronouns . For example:

"I do karate two times per week."

"You do it first, and then I will follow."

"Jim and I do a lot of work every day." (In this sentence, "Jim and I" can be replaced by the pronoun "we.")

"Gerald and Becky always do their grocery shopping together." (In this sentence, "Gerald and Becky" can be replaced by the pronoun "they.")

When to use does

Use does with the third person pronouns he , she , and it , and subjects which refer to these pronouns . For example:

"Mahmoud always does a good job."

"She does her homework after dinner."

"This computer does a lot of amazing things." (In this sentence, "this computer" can be replaced by the pronoun "it.")

To practice, answer this question : Who does the dishes in your house?

Okay, now you see how to use do and does as the main verbs in present simple sentences, but do and does also serve another very important function: They act as auxiliary verbs in present simple questions.

How to use do and does in present simple questions

To form a closed "yes or no" question with do or does in the present simple, we use the form do/does + subject + infinitive/base verb . The use of do or does depends on the subject. Let's look at five examples (Don't forget to listen and repeat each example):

" Do you want this?"

" Does she have any pets?"

" Do they need any help?"

" Do I look okay?"

" Does the company offer medical benefits?"

You can answer these questions with the short affirmative responses "Yes, I do," "Yes, you do," "Yes, she does," and so on. The short negative responses are "No, I don't," "No, you don't," "No, she doesn't," and so on. (Keep reading if you want to learn more about negative forms!)

For open questions that begin with the words who , what , where , when , why , and how , we use almost the same structure as above. Just add the question word in front . The structure is Wh- word + do/does + subject + infinitive/base verb . Here are six examples:

" Who do you want for this job?"

" What does he do?" (This question means "What is his job?" or "What does he do in life?")

" Where do you live?"

" When do you wake up in the morning?"

" Why do they go to sleep at midnight?"

" How does she get to the office every day?"

There are many more question structures in English, but in order to stay focused on our topic, this page will only discuss the structures above.

But wait! We have only practiced affirmative sentences. What about negative declarative sentences and negative questions? Let's look at them together.

The negative forms and uses of do and does

The negative form of do is do not , and the negative form of does is does not . In speaking and in informal writing, these words are usually contracted as don't and doesn't . Here are some examples (Remember to listen and repeat):

" I don't need your help."

" She doesn't work here anymore." ("Anymore" means she worked here before, but she doesn't work here now.)

" They don't believe that we can win."

" He doesn't like seafood."

" You don't have to do this."

" We don't own a car."

" This fruit doesn't look fresh."

And now, here are some examples of negative questions for you to practice:

" Why doesn't she buy a new one?"

" Don't you like pop music?" (In this example, I think you like pop music and I am verifying if it's true.)

" What doesn't she have ?"

" Who doesn't want one ?"

" Doesn't she live there ?" (This is the same as the pop music example before. I think she lives there, but I am not 100% sure, so I am verifying the information with someone.)

Where , when , and how can be used in negative questions with don't and doesn't , but it isn't very common. However, here are some examples to satisfy your curiosity:

" Where don't penguins live ?"

" When doesn't it rain in London?" (This could be a sarcastic question.)

" How don't you know that?"

I hope you feel more comfortable with using do and does in the present simple, and that you will recognize them more easily when you hear them in English contexts. To continue improving, practice repeating the examples on this page.

As a bonus, here is some more grammatical information about the verb do :

Present simple: do and does ("Where do you live?" / "Where does she live?")

Past simple: did ("She did her homework.")

Present participle: doing ("I'm doing my best.")

Past participle: done ("Have you done your taxes?")

Remember, there is always more to learn.

Finally, thank you for learning with me. If you enjoyed this resource and you would like to support my work, you can purchase a PDF, e-Book, or paperback copy of one of my books . I wrote all of them with English students in mind. Until next time, good luck on your learning journey, and talk to you again soon.

Do or Does: Which is Correct?

By: Author Dr. Patrick Capriola

Posted on Published: November 29, 2021

The verb “do” is among the most common English verbs, and like most verbs we use a lot, it’s irregular. “Do” and “does” are both forms of the verb “do” in the simple present, so which is correct, “do” or “does?”

When you talk about yourself, you should say, “I do” as in “I do the dishes,” not “I does the dishes.” Even though the verb “do” is irregular, it still follows the rule that a present tense verb, in the third-person singular, needs an “s” at the end. For example, “I eat” and “he eats.” Like other verbs, “do” gets an “s” in the third-person singular, but we spell it with “es” — “does.”

Let’s take a closer look at how “do” and “does” are different and when to use each one. We’ll also talk about how to make negative sentences and questions with “do” and “does,” and we’ll even check out some common phrasal verbs and expressions that use “do.”

Do Is a Verb: What Does It Mean?

“Do” and “does” are action verbs, and we use them to describe an activity in the present tense ( source ). Remember that we use the simple present tense to talk about habits or activities that happen consistently over time.

Is It “I Do” or “I Does”?

Say “I do” when you are talking about work or an activity you are performing yourself. Here are some examples:

I always do my homework before dinner.
I do the dishes after we eat.

You only need to use the word “does” when you use the third-person singular to talk about another person or thing ( source ). Look at these sentences:

He always does his homework before dinner.
She does the dishes after we eat.
That car does well in the snow.

Can We Use “Do” with “I”?

As we’ve learned from the previous examples, you can use “do” with “I.” Bearing that in mind, which of these sentences is correct?

I do all my chores on Saturday.
I does all my chores on Saturday.

If you chose the first sentence, you’re correct! Remember, we need “do” when the subject is “I.”

Can We Use “Does” with “I”?

This also raises the question of whether we can use “does” with “I.” Simply put, no, you cannot use “does” with “I.” Consider the next examples. Which sentence is correct?

I does it as many times as it takes.
I do it as many times as it takes.

The second sentence is correct. Remember, the third-person singular is the only subject that uses “does.” You can say, “He does it as many times as it takes,” but you cannot say, “I does it as many times as it takes.”

“Does” and “Do” Chart

Here’s an easy chart to help you remember when to use “does” or “do.”

As you can see from the chart, you should always use “do” in the simple present tense when you are talking about anyone except he, she, or it. For those subjects, you need “does.”

Do or Does Singular

For proper subject-verb agreement, the singular subjects “I” and “you” need the word “do.” To describe how singular subjects “he,” “she,” or “it” complete an action, you will need to use the word “does.”

I do my best.
You do my hair exactly how I like it.
She does everything with a smile.

Of course, if you are using someone’s name or the name of an “it,” you’ll also use “does.”

Mr. Garcia does car repair from his shop.
This printer also does color, as well as black and white.

Do or Does Plural

In contrast, for proper subject-verb agreement, you should use “do” with all plural subjects, like “we,” “they,” or the plural “you.”

We do the laundry every week.
They do their jobs well.
You do your best all the time.
They do volunteer work at the library.

“Does” and “Do” Examples

Now you try! Look at these sentences and decide if you should use “do” or does.”

1. Mr. and Mrs. Lee always _____ what they say.

2. You guys ______ that project, and we can _____ this one. (you → plural)

3. The horse ______ laps around the track.

4. I _____ the sewing by hand.

5. You and I ______ whatever we want.

6. You _____ a good job when you cook. (you → singular)

7. I _____my work from home now.

Here are the answers. How did you do?

1. do

2. do, do

3. does

4. do

5. do

6. do

7. do

Using Do and Does With Various Sentence Structures

There are many different ways to use the verbs “do” and “does,” whether as main verbs or helping verbs. In this section, we’ll review the main applications for both.

Do and Does in a Positive Sentence for Emphasis

Occasionally, we can use “do” and “does” as helping verbs . However, this isn’t very common in positive sentences unless you want to give extra emphasis to the sentence’s main verb. You will still use “does” with the third-person singular and “do” with all other personal pronouns.

Here are some examples of how either “do” or “does” can provide emphasis for your main verb:

I do want to go ; please call me! (You do not think I want to go)
He does like pickles on his sandwich. (You thought he did not like them.)
Sally and Harry do want to get married; they just don’t know when.

Making Negative Sentences With Do and Does

We also use “do” and “does” as helping verbs in negative sentences if the main verb is not “be.” Just add the adverb “not” after the helping verb “do” or “does,” then use your main verb. You will still use “does” for “he,” “she,” and “it” and “do” for all other personal pronouns. Consider the following examples:

I do not want to go .
You do not need to help me.
Marla does not eat meat.
We do not exercise on Fridays.
You (plural) do not use plastic forks.
They do not think it will happen.

Any of these sentences are fine. However, it’s much more common to make a contraction with “not,” especially when you are speaking. Simply combine “do” or “does” with “not” into one word, and then replace the “o” in “not” with an apostrophe.

I don’t want to go.
You don’t need to help me.
Marla doesn’t eat meat.
We don’t exercise on Fridays.
You don’t use plastic forks.
They don’t think it will happen.

Making Questions With Do and Does

A very common way to ask questions in English is by using “do” and “does” as helping verbs. Use them when you are asking a question that needs a “yes” or “no” answer.

The rule for when to use “do” and “does” is still the same. You need to use “does” with “he,” “she,” or “it” and “do” with “I” and all other personal pronouns ( source ). Here are some examples:

Do you like chocolate ice cream?
Does he need help?
Do they make a lot of money?
Do we have a meeting today?

The answer to all of these questions can be a simple yes or no. If you need a longer answer to a question, you can add a question word — who, what, where, when, why, how, which — before “do” or “does.”

Why does he always arrive late?
How do you spell that?
What do I use to clean this?
Who do they live with?

However, there are times you do not need to use “do” and “does” when you ask a question. We’ve already talked about one — when your main verb is a form of “be.” Here are two more:

When your main verb is a compound verb, like “are going.”
When you use a modal verb, like “can,” should,” have,” etc.

Making Negative Questions With “Do” and “Does”

To make negative questions, you should use the contractions “don’t” and “doesn’t.” It’s very rare to form a negative question by saying or spelling “do not” or “does not.” Instead, just put these contractions at the beginning of the sentence, before the subject. These questions only need a “yes” or “no” answer.

Don’t I look pretty?
Doesn’t that dog need a bath?
Don’t we have a meeting today?

Do and Does Can Substitute for Other Verbs

If your listener knows what action you are talking about, you can also follow “do” and “does” with the pronoun “it.”

We do it every week. (the laundry.)
He never does it until the weekend. (his homework.)
They do it with love. (their cooking)
This machine does it better. (the function of the machine you are talking about)

Speaking of pronouns, be aware that it’s not a good idea to directly follow “do” or “does” with a pronoun that refers to a person, like “him,” “her,” or “us.” Sentences like that are either so casual that they sound uneducated, or they can refer in a derogatory way to activities that you wouldn’t talk about in normal conversation.

However, you can use possessive pronouns, like “my” and “her,” followed by a noun.

I do her hair every morning.
Does Mr. Smith do your yard three times a week?

Other Ways to Use Do and Does

You can also use “do” and “does” with indefinite pronouns like “everything” and “nothing” to talk about activities.

I do everything around the house.
She does nothing unless someone asks her.

And finally, you can use “do” and “does” with an adverb to describe how you performed that activity.

Matthew does his homework quickly.

Pronouncing Do and Does

“Do” and “does” also have irregular pronunciation, but don’t worry! Once you learn how to say them, they are easy to remember. The following pronunciation guides use Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary ( source ) and IPA symbols to help you ( source ).

Some Useful Idioms and Phrasal Verbs With “Do”

Since we use “do” and “does” a lot, there are also many expressions and idioms that use these two words ( source ). Here are a few:

Do (someone) a favor → to do a kind or helpful act for someone:

Molly, would you do me a favor and help me move these boxes?

Do business → to sell or buy from:

That deal sounds good; can we do business?

Do you good → a good thing that will help you:

Take this medicine; it does you good.

Do a number on → to hurt or harm someone or something:

The puppy does a number on my shoes.

Do-over → a second try to accomplish a task that was previously unsuccessful:

Can I have a do-over?

Do the trick → to produce the desired result:

I fixed the picture frame with a nail; that should do the trick.

Do you read me → this is serious; it is important that you do as I say:

Jonathan, do not play in the street. Do you read me?

How to Answer “How Are You Doing?”

Finally, what should you say when someone asks you, “How are you doing?” You can’t answer this with the present tense “I do.” Instead, you need to use the present continuous, as they did in their question. This article was written for strategiesforparents.com.

You might answer, “I’m doing well” or “I’m doing good.” Both are correct, but they mean different things. Check out this article on the difference between “doing well” and “doing good.”

Final Thoughts

Remember, you should use “does” for the third-person singular. Use “do” for all other personal pronouns, both singular and plural. This rule applies when you use “do” as an action verb, as well as when you use it as a helping verb.

The more you listen to native speakers and practice your own speaking, the more you will discover that using “do” and “does” correctly will soon become natural for you.

Basic English Grammar – Do, Does, Did, Don’t, Doesn’t, Didn’t

Test your understanding of this English lesson

963 comments.

Good job! But where is the did and didn’t? it’s not even in the quiz. Tnxs

thanks but i dont understand the use of these words

i want to know about use of shall and will,, i know that shall use with i,& we but whenever our teachers use will with i and we why ?

“Shall” has a few different uses.

1) It can mean the same thing as “I will” — “I will tell you tomorrow”/”I shall tell you tomorrow”.

2) It can be used to talk about something that has to be done, or to tell people to do something. “Students shall write their names at the top of the page.”

3) It can be used in questions — to talk about something that could happen, or make a suggestion. “Shall I come back later?” could mean that you are asking someone if you should come back later or not, or that you are suggesting you could come back later if they want.

“Shall” is very common in the UK, but not at all in North America. In North America we would use “will”/”must”/”will” + “maybe”/”could” instead.

Sorry mam your voice is low, but your teaching is good.

Thank you so much.

We do like Engvid

Oh sorry its in the discussion but not in the quiz :-)

i am now well awairness to these words. Basic problem is to short vacbluary. can you help me to imporve my vablury and also learing your lession.

All your classes are fantastic!

are you in 8th standard

Engvid is a great ESL site .in fact you have special technique in teaching and I’d like to ask you to teach me how to think of things with their English name not with my original language and then translate it to English thank a lot.

Thinking of things in English and not in your original language is not something I can teach you… it is something that must happen in your brain. Once you begin to “switch your brain” over to English, then you can begin to think of words in English. I can only suggest going to an English speaking country, or talking to yourself in English.

You used word absolutely correct and i am really impressed with this.

Thanks for such kind of great artical putting here.

hi ronnie sent me your email address and id plz contact me

Hi teacher ronnie! im just confused, how about “IT”? can we say IT did or IT didn’t?

It + did/didn’t.

Hi, Ronnie! I like your way of teaching! Because you did not mention how to use the “It” in the present and in the past?

teacher where we use names with do or does i think does

Hi.. could you please help me with the grammer in this.. usually we use does with he.we could say he doesn’t calle me..but in spoken English we could also say he didn’t call me..so which is correct?

I want to learn the usage of DO , does and didn’t with IT , That and any particular object.

Thanks for Good teach. it is clear to use Do, Does and did in talk.

hello ronnie, I love your lectures. I watched your lectures have,has,had and this one.I got a doubt, ‘I do have’ and ‘I have’ is these both same or different or wrong.

i don’t want love again, because my heart is broken

Ronnie is completely right when she says that must happen in your brain. It’s easy, and everything you have to do is to collect very large fund of words, adjectives, verbs, nouns, adverbs, preposition etc., in order to use adequate word to describe something that is instantly in your mind. I did it :))))))

Eurekaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.. You are great.

its relly amazing!thanks a lot

Walter you’re Filipino? I recognise the flag, I lived in the Philippines for a while.

hi chris! just happened to see your comment. I live here in the Philippines (I am Filipina). It’s nice to know someone who’s proud to say, you once lived here. I hope you had a great time here. God bless!

I want to ask you for sure, Is that sentence correct ‘I haven’t seen him in ages’. I’m not sure about the preposition in. I have been studying that i haven’t seen him for ages but not in ages. Can you do me a favor, just tell me that it’s quite possible to use it ‘In ages’. I’m looking forward to hear from you in near the future.

You forgot it, and later on while you are explaining did, you don’t mention you. You are nice and good but this is very amateur teaching level.

Dear teachers,

Do you have abc lessons?

i very inspire from miss valen.

Actually,I like to thank for all teachers in ‘www.EngVid.com’. Because of watching these videos I could learn a lot of new things and correct some of my grammar mistakes. Thanks a lot again.

i thing you are a great teacher in my life

I am an IT graduate in the phil and its really hard for me to construct good sentences so i tried to search for english online lessons. I found your tutorials direct and simple and it really helped me a lot. Thanks! keep it up.

Dear Miss Valen: THANK you very much for your fantastic classes. I like your voice, your pronunciation,your technique, your spelling and must of all, you transmit you love to teach!I find this classes very helpfull.

Hi, thanks a lot. I’d like to know the usage of DO and WH- in question~ thanks

hi miss ronnie how r you.you done a great job..i have learn much more thing from this lesson….God bless you thanks

Hi, you have missed “It does” “it doesn’t” and in the past “yout did” and “you didn’t” examples. Please the next time be more professional and give us more correctly grammar. Thank you. :)

More correctly grammar? you mean to say please use better grammar? or Please use correct grammar. It’s not polite to try and find fault, Especially when your unable to use correct grammar also. The lesson was very good for those who may not have a good understanding of Do, Don’t, Did, Didn’t.

If you know grammar very well why do you watch it , I main lessons .

He does his homework. (does and do are the same verb) We would only use “He DOES do his homework” if I was trying to prove a point that indeed the guy does homework.

You have a point!

this is very nice teaching u but u have to put some more questions, in all the tenses

hi, thank you so much for your teaching…We really learned from it together with my children..Kindly explain to us the difference of has and does?How and when can we to use it?tnx again god bless…

“He has a truck.” Has means he possesses something. “He does his homework.” Does means to do something.

Thank you very much Teacher Ronnie for giving me this tips of teaching English grammar here in Korea. It’s very fun and not complicated. I’m using your sites in teaching grammar to the students showing them the video and at the same time explaining with them using Korean Language if they can’t catch up with the topic.

Nice class,would like to see more examples

can you see your lesson is very easy?

I like studying english, but I can’t write sentence incorrect.How do I do?

You should learn basic sentence structure if you want to write sentences correctly. Watch more engVid lessons!

hi that,s good job but i have some problem in my vacabolaray would u like 2 help me plz i neaver 4get ur this greatness may GOD bless u

now i know how to use do, does , and did. And how to use it in negative.. thanks guys

thank you =)

thank a lot

i have a doubt why we cannot use does has or doesn’t has instead of does have or doesn’t have?for she or he we have to use “has” right but above case why we dont?

We must say “She/He doesn’t have” because the auxiliary verb “do” is the only verb you need to change to suit the subject.

hi teacher,, i’d like to ask you question about the question above that you but it. what do you mean by hear? becouse i answerd thise question in awronge way because idont know whats the mean of hear,,, thanks again for you ihop ican speak english very easy by helping of you

Look it up in a dictionary! This is how I learned English!

Thank you very much for your education for us , That’s great .

i like this theaching methed

Hello teacher , I like your learning style I studied English in New Zealand , Manukau MIT 12 months and I still can’t use freely the language. I had a lot of homework but little explanation and I just remember the material, but I must understand the logic of constructing for that to be able to make their own sentences. With your help, I began to understand much more. Many thanks

thank you very much for your education for us.that’s great

plz mam straight your hair you could no no no no u should

Every lesson you taught was very helpful for a learner like me. Thank you so much for your good teaching method. I hope to see more of your English grammar lessons.

what do we use with ( it ) shall we use ( does ) ????

you are so gifted for teaching thank you a lot!!!

what about’it’? U R NOT MENTIONED ABOUT IT.

Oh!! than you so much!! now I understood! a have a period exam tomorrow and now I am sure I will get this topic correct!! Thank you!!

NEARLY THAT I SEE VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND THIS VIDEO AND TASKS BELOW WHICH I CAN DO PERFECT

Wow,helpful!

Hi Ms. Ronie, how about “it” what I am gonna use is it “do” or “does” Thanks, have a great day

What do you think you should use with it? I’ll tell you the answer once you tell me what you think.

“it does” or “it doesn’t” is that correct? or there’s anything else? thanks

Yes! You are correct!

You r a good teacher, thank you

Thank you too much, I think this website is the best one in the world about learning English, with best regards

thank you sear .. it’s very good

thank you ma’am .. it’s very good

Hi!How are you?you are great!Thank you!

Will you please tackle about Other Pronoun forms? 1. Between you and (I,me),” said Tonya, “we will probably be assigned to the McMeekin account.” The answer is “me”. Why? What is the rule about this?

2. Have you asked Joseph and (she, her) if they plan to attend the seminar?

3. It was not (I, me) who ordered this manual.

4.Please explain my absence to Arthur and (she, her).

5. I do not know (who, whom)our manager selected to replace Pierre.

6. Mr. Parmar is the only broker (who, whom) we called for an appraisal.

Please explain these in a much easier to understand lesson.

Thanks, Joshua

Ah… you are confused because the usage of “whom” and “I” are old school grammar book rules! Whereas “who” and “me” we use nowadays! So, in very OLD FORMAL English, the correct answers are 1.I, 3)I, 5)whom, 6)whom but in spoken English (which ignores a lot of the rules) we would use me, me, who, and who! Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot for these video

Thank you for this lesson. Q. Why don’t talk about “it” ?!

it + does >> like: he & she

It doesn’t work.

Don’t and doesn’t for speaking only, for writing I should write “do not” and “does not” .. that right ??

hi u r the best teacher i guess! bcz the way u teach its very simple thanx and one more thing i wanna ask u could u plz send me ur all videoes on my email address from start to end from which i can speak english very well thank u so much

Please provide tutuorial and thanks in advance

Great wit there Ronnie..lol

Thanks so much

What about ( it ) ?

hi ronnie when i spoke to my friends, sometime i get confused because not sure about are you going there or do you go there? please help me with this confusion.

“Are you going there?” is to ask if you plan to go somewhere in the future. Eg: “Are you going to the gym tomorrow?” “Do you go there?” is to ask if the person frequents a place. Eg: “Do you go to Starbucks?” “Do you go to the gym?” — They are asking if you go to these places a lot!

we use HE/SHE/IT whith does and doesn’t or not

please tell the use of would that in which kind of situation we use that….i,m looking forward to hear you in near future is it correct?

in tenses please..and or, like what teacher ronnie did in her teachings with negative and a positive..thanks a lot..God bless..

name is mhammad

LET me one kis Ronnie

I want to know when should I use didn’t & dont.

I, you, we, they… you use don’t in the PRESENT tense. Use didn’t for the PAST tense!

thanxxxxx…..can u give more examples of do,,,,,does,,did…….waiting 4 ur rply

You are a fantastic teacher.. CONGRATULACION

nice teacher & nicely teach. want more……..

I think that you forgot “it” takes does for example : about apartment “It doesn’t have many rooms” thanks alot

ahh thanks a lot Ma’am I do remember now:-<

I have a question, the correct phrase is: ‘love don’t cost a thing’, why not doesn’t, like ‘love doesn’t cost a thing’.

Thank you. I look foward for your answer.

indeed it should be love doesn’t cost a thing but grammar is always ignored in songs!

thanks you my good teacher

thank’s

ur great teacher! how about TO and of can u plz explain it,because im confused,,,,,thanks

thank you so much nice to meet u

What do I use when refering to a singular object? This weapon don’t or doesn’t exist?

doesn’t!

hi madam i like your teaching.pls help me for that. what is verb 1 verb2 and verb3 it is present,past,and future tense.thanx

it’s very useful to me. i like your class

i want to know. do i need to use base verb when i ask question

I didn’t really understand your question! Could you please give me an example? When we use question form, we say…..Did he eat the pizza?, or Do you like fish? Hope that helps you!

my score is 2 .. .more need to try …

very goooooooooooooooood side

hello haw are you i love you i am learn english for you :D

egypt ismail nassar

Hi, i would really appreciate if you could help me figure the right word to use here. Should i use ‘don’t or ‘doesn’t in this sentence :

“Chris wants to buy a new book but don’t/doesn’t know which to get”

I think the right verb to use is “doesn’t” because the mention of name is the same as using it for he/she (singular 3rd party)

Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks Ronnie

You are correct!!!!

tnx.. With your lesson, now i can use those verbs in a right manner.. Thank you very much

wohoow! I got the perfect score! Cool… I enjoy it!

hi ronnie! how are you doing? You always did a good job. Will you please write example about do,does,did,it,and names? Thanks a lot, I appreciate it, you have a wonderful day

Hi Ronnie! How are you doing? You always do a good job. Will you please write an example sentence using the words, “do, does, did, and it.” Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. You have a wonderful day.

hi ronine my question is do tell me i ask ? start from is am are and u not answar with yes or no u give me information about that question ?

Thanks a lot, i am from Turkey, nice and helpful job

hello mam, I like your teaching very much.Now i’m very happy & taking lot of interest in learning how to speak english.Thanx a lot. Can you give me more questios for quiz?

thanxs it is a great website.. i want to learn how does verb changes in present ,past & future using do, dont,does,doesnt,did & didnt

so… fantastic!!! but i have a question:)) is “your mama don’t know” a right english? or “your mama doesn’t know”

“Your mama doesn’t know” is correct!

hi Ronnie, Its great to have a teacher like you. Need to know that if we are beginners then from where to start learning English, I mean about a sequence, that what should be the first topic then the second and so on, like a learning chart. Hope if you can make this easier for all of us.

Thanks & Regards BJ

I think you should learn basic vocabulary and verbs first. Then simple present tense, past and future tense.

Which Is Correct ? I Didnt spend or i didnt spent ? thanks

I didn’t spend is correct. Didn’t is past so you don’t need to change “spend” to past tense!

now i learn something new

thank you very much

OoOoOh,, Very great and Basic lecture..

Thank you verrrrrrrrrrrrry much..

i like a lot and understand easly thanks

thanks you save my life… :D

For “does” and “doesn’t” you forgot the pronoun “it.”

Example: ‘It ((the toaster)) doesn’t ususally work. It does sometimes work after I whack it a bit.’ I suggest a dding the nonpersonal pronoun “it” to this lecture — as well as the use of non-pronoun subjects with “do,” “does,” etc.

i like your lesson lovely lesson

thank your very much for this free lesson. your a very good teacher.

what is correct. 1.the house doesn’t/dont have a roof? 2. lot of people don’t/doesn’t have a food on their plate. 3.their wives doesn’t/dont have a money

You have to think if the noun is singular or plural. If it is singular use does/doesn’t. Plural, use do/don’t. You think about this and email me what YOU think the answers are! Good luck!

I took above three questions as my exercise and find the answers below.

1. the house doesn’t have a roof? 2. lot of people don’t have a food on their plate. 3.their wives dont have a money

Please check and correct me if anything wrong.

You need to put a capital letter on every sentence. A food and a money are both wrong. It should be money/food.

Dear Ronnie, Thanks for your good effort. Your exercise is very interesting. I wish you post many exercise so that it will improve english grammer to every one using your net. Thank you and good work. KEEP IT UP.

Dear Ronnie, Thank you very much for your good method of teaching. It is well explained and easy to understand. I have a request if you don’t mind please. I want to know the proper usage of “articles”. Your kind consideration is much appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will try to do that video for you! Please be patient as we film every 4 months. Thanks for watching and good luck!

hi,good gob

thank you are best teacher

Thank you, really helped to refresh my memory in applying basic rules in constructing sentences.

A very informative lesson. Eventhough, I am advanced in some levels, I find the basics very confusing, but now resolved. Thankyou for your wonderful teaching

Very good explanation but I think… you didn’t mention “it” when you explained Do/Does Also, you forgot “you” when you explained Did/didn’t.

hello engvid i like ur way or teaching.it’s very interesting.so now i have joined engvid and i watching and listing everyday ur lessons.thanxx

helo ms RONIE.are you? i wanna thank you to help me learn english. i realy wanna speak like you.once again thank you very much [haiti]

OMG thanks so much i love that girl, she knows how to explain i was confuse with those things about does and doesn’t thanks so so so so so muuuuuuuuuuch

this is great.

Hi Ronny, i have two questions . first one, What’s diffrence between these sentences. he likes her & he does like her. second question, i answerd these quiz but there one question missunderstand mean this senetnce”She does not like him bescause he is verey meaning her” it mean he not love him because he care her or she hate him because he nosy ..forget to tell you that’s first time to share here but i intearsting & enjoy by your method .so, i singup here & put in my favourit & will follow your video & new news hope to continue

“He likes her” is how we normally say that one person likes another. “He DOES like her”, is ONLY to emphasize that he indeed does like her! ”She does not like him because he is very meaning her”…. This should say ….””She does not like him because he is very mean to her”. It means that he is a bad person and not nice to her, so she does not like him! Thanks for watching and good luck!

yeah,Roonie ..i understand you & thank you alot for your helping. well, i study course english at egypt with forgin Instructores. they follow us & to continue connecation at facebook you will see command mistake when we discusse with them from level one to level 6 .These discusses there help you when you prepare Vido. what are problems with begginer, intermiddiate &advance levels .just write spread your english in google search, you will find first link spread your engilsh at face book after that, plz open discuess tap you will be find student chat there with thier Instructors.really, we have some people teach me from U.S but they are not as like you.Anyway, one day if you will vist egypt ofcourse i’ll hoste you there by free.that’s nice to meet you

Thank you Ronnie (:

Hi Ronnie, First, I would like to thank you for helping me passing the english profiency test In LA VERNE UNI.-CA, so now I am eligible to join thier graduate programme as my first degree is from overseas. but behind the teaching point. I was very frustrated that I moved to US 4 years ago, working hard and overcoming all challenges i had,until I become a citizen here. I was struggling to back to school, I was down and sad, but since i start to watch your video’s and James’s too, I found both of you very positive and energetic. Thanks for helping me achieve my dream. GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU . Mohamed Abdou

Thanks Ms Ronnie ,,,I love your lessons . its very helpful ,and you’re a funny teacher..God Bless You.

Thank you, Ronnie, The lesson is very useful and I have not learnt to use these words correctly.

How to say? He doesn’t like… or He IS doesn’t like… where a lesson on this subject? You are a gifted teacher.

He doesn’t like is correct!

How about when we get the mistake that we say HE DO? That’s really feel confusion Miss Ronnie!! Y_Y

You have to say “he does” !

If my subject is IT. Then whether i have to use does or do

Thanks mam. Please tell me which of the following is correct?

What do jhon and raja do? What does jhon and raja do?

can you teach me if possible one sentence .i.e. how do you do?

Thank you so much! it helps! can you teach me how to you for and to in correct sentence? coz sometimes I’m confused. like for example. it means nothing for me or it means nothing to me. haha.:) I think its “to me”. right? nah.. so confusing how to use those words… thanks again!

It means nothing to me, is correct! I will try to make a video for you!

,,hi!i am from Philippines,,,8 is my frst time to watch your lesson and i i like it,,,,ihope you can teach me on how to use the negative words in a sentence,,,and how to identify them..tnx

Pls tell me when we need to use Did, Was-were, Had, Have-Has…. I am totally confused on these words… tell me with examples… pls pls pls…..

its very good ,,thank you ronnie.

thanks mam ronnie for sharing this.

hi good day, But where is the did and didn’t? it’s not even in the quiz. Thamks

hi just want to ask if the word is right? you did it? if right so it means that “you” also can connect with did or didn’t? thanks!

Yes, you are correct!

what about You didn’t? is it right?

what about it??? Liza likes fruits. is it right to say…… Does Liza like fruits? Do Jade and Jim like fruits? Do, does and did could be used for the name of person? thanks

Yes, all of your examples are correct! Great work!

Pls tell me when we need to use Did, Was-were, Had, Have-Has…. I am totally confused on these words… tell me with examples… pls pls pls…..

Please tell me madam… I am waiting for your reply… its a small thing to you, but for me its a big big biiiiiiiig problem……

Was/were is the past form of “to be” verb. I was here. We were at the park. Did is the past form of do. We use for actions.,,,, I did my homework. I did the laundry. Have/has is present, had is past tense. We use to show possession – I have 5 dogs. She has a headache. I hope that helps!

Please tell me which of the following is correct?

What do jhon and raja do?

why used “do” and not “does”, as we learnt from earlier examples that with names we use “does”

mam very very usefull classes and clear the doubt by reading the answer u giving for the comments thanks and kind regards Gazzali

haha! piece of cake!!

thanks roonie you cleared my doubts

you r good teacher.i like ur teaching style,i can easily understand.thanks a lot.my problem is i can understand but,i can’t speak english very well.help me plz,

“This is not suitable for our current requirement”. is this sentence correct? if yes which tense

“This is not suitable for our current requirement” is correct. It is present tense because the verb is “is”.

as per my understanding when we use present continues we have to use am/is/are+v1+ing. but in this sentense i have a confusion “It is not suitable ” i cant use ing here. is this sentence correct ?

“It is not suitable” is correct. You cannot use suitable with ing.

Dear Ronnie, Thank you very much for your good method of teaching. teacher i want to know that what is difference between “believe and belief”?? thanks.. waiting for your reply…

Muhammad Kashif.

Believe is a verb… “I believe (think) I can fly.” Belief is a noun… “I have a belief (idea) that I can fly.”

thank you teacher

Hello Ronnie! i am your new student i don’t like your way of teaching

I have read my story book. We always use I +have!~ Good luck on your test!!!!!!!!!

i know basic grammar ruls

i nead vacabulary wards

what can i do ?

To improve your vocabulary, try to learn one or 2 new words a day and use them in a sentence!

On the explanation of the Do and Does. I did not see the it form which also belongs to the 3rd person singular group (He and She), but the rest was very useful. Thank you.

trully good lesson of yours, can you teach the rules of how to change the negative into a positive?

hello i’ so much interested with your lesson can i aks a question? i just want to know how to change the positive one into a negative?

very useful

Thanks to you and this program and i have some problem in the grammer how i can learn it Thank you

this was a beautiful and easy way of showing how to use do,and does but i needed clarity on does+it thank you

i visited your website,i was amazed on your topic..but i’m still confused.i will just ask which is correct grammar.I didn’t see or I didn’t saw?

I didn’t see. Didn’t is past tense so you don’t need to change the second verb.

Hello Ronnie! I’m liking so much of your lessons! In this moment I’m studying alone, so this site is very useful. Thank you!

thx mam you are very good teacher

Thanks a lot Ronnie :) Your way of teaching is so clear.

Didn’t you understand the question? normally we use yes,i did or no i didn’t but can we say yes i didn’t? so can anyone help ….

WHICH IS CORRECT? *did your mother went to the store? *does your sister has sandals?

They are both wrong!

hi, what is the correct form of the sentence? thank you …

Hello Ronnie…… this is really a good class. though i manage to write and speak english i always had confusion in using ” do, does and did”. thanks a lot for this video. however, i have one clarification pls… wen we use past you mentioned “did” is used along with “I, we, they, she & he”. How about for “You”? should we not use “did” for “you”?

thanks a lot for your prompt response.

do you mean to say …to use or not to use “did” with “you”?

You are a superb teacher! thank you.

Use did with I, he,she, we, they, you, it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Verbs are difficult – just try to learn 2-3 a day and use them in a sentence…..Don`t try to learn too many at once! Your brain may explode!

its very simple …….Good teaching

Hi, thanks Ronnie for this great lesson.it’s very helpful

Maam Ronnie your awesome, ms Ronnie my question is this, why the baby did not know how to write and how to read, why she could speak very well… I think the best to do is, if you want to know how to speak english fluently regardless of education i would suggests you can always hear the conversation in english language. reading and writing did not really2x essential I think hearing is best method if you to know how to speak English fluently. What do you think ms Ronnie? correct me if I’m wrong… thank and god bless…..

I think it depends on how you learn – some people can just learn by listening, others need to see the words, others need a more physical learning environment. Everyone is different. When I learned Japanese I had to write down the words to remember how to say them….but I didn’t learn the grammar!

how to use would?

I want to know, why does the word she is used with have ? :S She is the third person and have is used in only negative sentences. :/ If you can help me out of this thing. I’ll be quite pleasured. :D

In the example “Does she have”, we have to change only the aux. verb do to reflect the noun…..We don’t have to change any other verb….We don’t say “Does she has”….. I don’t know WHY – I have no idea why we have ALL they grammar rules that we do – they don’t make sense to me!!

tank you so much Ms Ronnie

Dear Ms. Ronnie Good Day! while telephone conversation the other end of the person asked me that Mr.Vange is there (Vange is my collegue) and I replied that, He is having lunch. Is it right or should i say He is eating. Please Reply me..

Hi everyone…It is ok if I write: There did not use to be a newspaper store on Main Street. Thanks

thankks so much Mam.Ronnie.I love engvid so much and all the teachers are great…nice lesson.

Hi! Thank you for your lesson! It’s really useful!=) But sometimes I see sentences like that: “I DO understand you” Should we use “DO” in this sentence? Thanks)

“Do” is only for emphasis!

Your style of teaching is very interesting I wish you good luck always

We are waiting for each lesson.

Thanks this words have been comfusing me but now I understand them after your lesson good job

Hi maam Ronnie Last night I saw the beauty Pageant here in my place… and some of the candidates introduced herself! and I have confused regarding their grammar: and my question is this? what is the correct grammar… HI, THIS IS MARRY CRUZ, REPRESENTING TAGUM CITY….It is correct maam… OR.. HI I AM MARRY CRUZ REPRESENTING TAGUM CITY.. Which one is the correct grammar maam.. 1.. or.. 2. Wednesday, September 7th 2011 Reply to this comment Hi maam Ronnie Last night I saw the beauty Pageant here in my place… and some of the candidates introduced herself! and I have confused regarding their grammar: and my question is this? what is the correct grammar… HI, THIS IS MARRY CRUZ, REPRESENTING TAGUM CITY….It is correct maam… OR.. HI I AM MARRY CRUZ REPRESENTING TAGUM CITY.. Which one is the correct grammar maam.. 1.. or.. 2.

Both are correct!

good…thanks teacher

please give me many example

I,we you,they-do(present tense),did(past tense). he,she it-does(present tense),did(past).Is it correct?? “he has done his homework” is this sentence correct? 1.”does she have an extra pen?”(or) “does she has an extra pen” 2.”yes she has” (or) “yes she is having” which is the correct one from above senteces correct? plzzz rply me.

I,we you,they-do(present tense),did(past tense). he,she it-does(present tense),did(past).Is it correct?? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “He has done his homework” is this sentence correct? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.”does she have an extra pen?” YES!!!!!(or) “does she has an extra pen” NO – you don’t need to change have because “does” is changed. 2.”yes she has” YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or) “yes she is having” NO – you cannot use “hav+ing”!

if we are saying anybody then what we can use DO or Does?? 1.”do anybody want to take responsibility” or 2.”does anybody want to take responsibility” or i think often we use “IS” like”is anybody interested in dancing” plzzz i’ll be thankfull to u if u clear my confusion with some examples. Hope u understand my question.

Does anybody is correct = “anybody” is singular! So…has anybody, does anybody, was anybody. “Is anybody” is correct!

With Noun do we use do or does for e.g. Anita do not know English or Anita does not know English. which one is correct

thanks alot Ms ..

I did that Quiz what you gave us !

thanks alot .. keept up !

Mrs. Ronnie , thank you so much :D

i want to ask.. based from your video i found that u used all the personal pronouns as the example.but where is “it”? i could not find it in your video. does it have different usage from the above stated? thank you

It = does/doesn’t. Did/didn’t!

i also would like to ask about is it correct if the questions= a) where does she go? or we can say where does she goes? however when i asked my friends most of them answered the answer is a. why?

You only have to change the auxiliary verb “do” to does, You do not have to change BOTH verbs (do and go)!

Ronnie,Thanks!! But I have a question,very very silly question for you:What differences between verb “to be”,which can be “do,does” and “am,is,are”???I know it sounds silly,but it my problem sometime…))

Your question is not silly! It is a very good question as many people are confused with to be and do! First of all do/does IS NOT part of “to be”! “To be” is only am, is, or are! Basically, if you have an adjective in the sentence, you are going to use “to be” Ex… I am tired. Tired is an adjective so you cannot say I do tired! I am hungry. She is thirsty. They are smart. “Do” is an action verb, and we use it with a noun- “I do my homework”. Homework is a noun. You cannot say I am homework!!! He does aerobics. She does the dishes, They do math.

Thanks,Ronnie!You open a great secret for me)))

Awesome!!! thanks alot!

Wonder which is a better line- “Do you want to grab dinner” or “Did you want to grab dinner”. What is the difference between the two sentences and what circumstances might be appropriate to use one or the other. Thoughts?

Did you is past tense, but we use this sometimes in informal conversation! Do you is present tense and “proper grammar” if you are asking the person at the moment!

U’re doing a great work to not-english- spoke people (like me). Ur lesson is very good and basic but I have some trouble in listening can’t, didn’t and some negative words ’cause when foreigners say, they always swallow it and make me misunderstand.Please, help me. I hope that there aren’t too much grammar mistake in my message. Thank u for ur all ur help.

thank you very much!! this can help me to improve my remarks this Final Exam!! =))

thanks for the replied! i though u would never respond to my question since i was miles away. thanks for the clearance. it do help me a lot teacher

I know english very well but I hav lack of confidence onmyself to speak fluent english. Your lessons ll help me to improve myself. Thanks

Helo Madam Ronnie I have learnt alot by your teaching. Madam I am a new one learner and want to know alot about english grammer and vacablary but there are are no more lesson regarding which can cover all the aspect of grammer or vacablory. Kindly interduce / deliever some more lessons please

thanks for the info..really helpful

HI RONNIE YOU DID GOOD JOBU I LIKE IT

Hi can you tell me what is correct: “i didnt knew” or “i didnt know”. Thnx xxx

I didn’t know. When we use “did”, we don’t need to change the other words to past tense – only one!!

Where is the subject “it” in this video? otherwise its fine. Why have you dropped down the subject ‘It’?

hi thanks for teaching it is very useful.can you tell us what is adverb?

An adverb describes how the verb is done. Ex. He ran slowly. Slowly=adverb, telling us how he ran.

really styl well

Can you please help me with this: What is the verb in “What does her mother do on Tuesday?” And please explain or elaborate. Thank you.

Does and do are verbs

hi thanks for teaching.can you tell use about comparative and superlative,please?

idonét now when we use do and did

Do= present tense Did= past tense

grateful ::))

thank you very much its good for me i am 13 years old

what about CAN???? Will you always have a DO after a CAN???? As in “No can do!!!” Just joking. But you get what a mean! Awesome stuff.

Why do we use for third person the verb likes but when we use did we don’t. ie. He likes vs he didn’t like instead of he didn’t likes.

When we use the auxiliary verb “did”, we don’t need to change the other verb!

thank you Ronni i understand to your lisson.

Hi Ronnie, I have come accross this site trying to find help for my son (grade 3) with his English. He often makes mistakes with the use of “done” and I don’t know how to explain to him the correct usage, I can only tell him when it sounds wrong. Can you simplify when it is correct to use the word done as in, I did, I have done? The other day I done, I did?

Done we use with present/past perfect, or as an adjective “I am done”. You cannot use done in simple past.

Thank you for all Ronni. i like your lessons

thank you for the lesson. I did learn a lot from your lessons.

Thanks for your work, Im very happy with this lessons!!!

Can you recommed exercises?

Hello Ronnie, your kind to teach is very funny and the lesson are interesting and helpfull for me. I hope you and your colleague try to make a lot more lessons.

Is that Gandalf or the white wizard? I think Sarumon is his name, right? Just to say because that’s what our lesson in L.A. ^_^

oh it’s SARUMAN.

Thank you.Your lessons so helpful and simple to understand.I will recommend this site to my friends.

Thank so much!!! Ronnie.

a: He goes to school. Doesn’t it? b:Yes, He does.

Are two upper sentences correct? I request Guide me. Yours Faithfully Mojtaba

He goes to school. Doesn’t he ?

hi Ronnie..I wanna know what’s the difference between I and I am..sometimes i confuse how to use this two..thanks!!

Use “i am + adjective. Ex… I am hungry/tired/happy. Use I + verb. Ex.. I go/eat/play/have/want.

Awesome video!!! Very simple and comprehensive! I am only 2 months here in Canada and starting to speak English. Thanks a lot!!! Canadians are so kind and friendly. I love Canada!!!

I you find any mistakes on my grammar, just correct it and I’m glad to know it! thanks!

If I use “didn’t”, Do I need to change the verb that follows? For example, I didn’t make that or I didn’t MADE that? :)

If I use “didn’t”, Do I need to change the verb that follows? NO ! I didn’t make that = correct!!!

thanks for your lessons, I would like to ask you 2 questions. First I’m confused how to use the verb (Had) Ex, in one sentence you can se had had. I had had a big car, another question is the verb, (being) when can i use being, Ex, if i say , being a bad person is not good, its right, thanks for your help

Had had is past perfect form. (had + p.p) Ex. I had had a dog but it died.I had eaten the apple. Being we use in continuous forms of grammar. Ex. She is being funny, = She to be funny.

very informative and helpful . thanks and rgds

Oh my god, the technique you use to teach is really wonderful………. Same way i would like to see any video like how to spell a word. ie Writing correct spelling.

Check on the website for “spelling” videos – there should be some videos for you!

hi Ronnie . you are vary good a Techer you don’t write Example (don’t forget)

MERCI … ..

you don’t write Example (don’t forget) Okey

You don’t write example Remember Okay !!! (^_^)

Mónica doesn´t talk to me or Monica won´t talk to me?

Leila and Aisha (don’t play/ does’t play) volleyball.

He, she,(one person), it =does, doesn’t I, they, we (two people)= do, don’t.

Hi! thank you for your effective teaching. I just have a simple question. If the subject is the name of two person, what do we use is it do or does? Ex. Leila and Aisha (don’t play/doesn’t) play vaolleyball.

If it is 2 people, we use “don’t”!!! Great question! Good luck!

is it aproppriate to use DOESNT’T on WE, THEY, I, AND YOU?

No – we/they/I/you = do or don’t ONLY!

thank you Ronnie

mrs ronnie thank you for this wonderfull explain but plz i have one question i want to know that if this seantnce is true or flase did you born here? and plz tell me the reason of being true or flase

well.. nice thanks good job..

thank you for leessen

Thanks a lot Ronnie for the lesson.

My question is, “When to use did vs. done?”

Did = simple past verb. I did the dishes. Done = past participle. I have done the dishes.

helo mam… i’m very much bothered abt the usage of DID DO DOES in the framing of sentences… i would be very glad, if u could let me come out of my problem.

it’s my great plesure.. if u suggest me some interesting novels comprising simple english.

I would recommend Children’s books or teen novels. Most novels would be way to difficult to read!

You are correct!

this teacher is super

I love it …. thanks to the teachers who are willing to teach us …

I like this website. its very good site for learning english.

Can i say like this,

did you want the calculation part? is it correct english

I don’t know the context of your sentence. I think we would say “Do you want the total?”

did is…or did was… ? what i did is/was right???

plz explain this sentence. it does not have a sink. is there always use of have with does

Does refers to “it”. The bathroom (it) does not have a sink. = There is no sink in the bathroom.

http://www.engvid.com/polite-english-would/ http://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-could-should/

I Like you. Dear

Ronnie is Amazing Teacher.

ex; where did you go yesterday? or where you went yesterday? are they correct? can I use both of them?please reply.

i like it !!!!

Was/were + adjective. Were you tired? Did/does + verb. Did you like it?

hi ronnie what about the pronoun “it” can we say it doesn’t §

. thank you for everything you are very expressive .. but am interested in the future time of the verb do! thank you

Thank you ronnie so mutch I am happy .you are extremly halpful. see you later

Ronnie.. Your lessons are very useful. especially your expressions are awesome, I can involve myself in the lesson. Thank you so much, and thanks EngVid.

Ronnie.. Can you suggest me a Basic grammar book. and tell me, How can I overcome my spelling mistakes. Thank you.

I suggest you get a children’s spelling book = online. Sorry, I can’t recommend a grammar book without knowing your English level — are you a beginner??

hi ronni, u r lessons were awesome. i want to know the perfect self introduction with the example, could u help me with that.. thanks

Hi! My name is ___________. Nice to meet you!

its really good. i love english

Hello Ronnie! I have one question on Present Simple. What form in do we use verb start in the sentence: “At 2 o’clock lessons____again.” With ‘s’ or witout ending? I’m looking forward for your reply. Thanks!

Because the word “lesson” is plural, you don’t need to use “s”. If the word lesson was singular, you need the “S”.

Hi! Ms Ronnie I’d like to know if “It” is a “Pronoun” too, because i think you forgot it to put there. Thanks!

Yes, it is a pronoun. You are right – I did forget it! With it we use does!!!

i like your teaching ms ronnie but i would like to learn more about the pronounsiations of diffiicult words

Thanks for your useful teaching video. I like the way you teach and your great voice.Keep on the good work. and kindly keep up u r teach on engvid page and thanks a lot miss ronnie

you with did or no??

Yes! You + did!

First i wanna say thank you, its really a very good videos and its really helpful!!

Second, i have two questions: 1. In this video you didn’t notice to “it” and “we”.. it would make me feel better if you will explain how do we reffer to them. 2 And the other questions is – can i write a sentence like that ” i’m not going” or “she’s not leaving” ? becouse i saw another video that didn’t mention that way – and its got me confused.. you were talking about onlu “he isn’t” and not “he’s not”

the question is they both are ok?

It + does We + do. You can use both he isn’t and he’s not ! I’m not going” and “She’s not leaving” = both correct!

HELP! Which one is correct? 1. What “do” she and her family do on the weekend? 2. What “does” she and her family do on the weekend?

1. She and her family = they!!!

its my 1st day to watch your lessons hope it will be help full to improve my speaking as well listning thanks

miss ronie i have a problem with in speaking i always learning about english vecabulary but most of the time cant use during my speaking how can i manage this problem?

Search “conversation” on the site- there are lessons to help you!

thank you so much miss.Ronnie i learned a lot.

Ronnie your the best teacher ever… can i request? i want to know many idiomatic expressions and their meanings… more power to you =)thank you =)

Hey Ronnie! You must receive a lot of compliments, but I can’t avoid saying that you’re great. I simply adore your video classes.Please, keep on being that generous. I can assure you, you’ve been helping a lot. Thank you! Hug

This car doesn’t go fast . Explaine me why doesn’t

This car = singular thing (it).

Also when I have to use ” done” ?

Done is the past participle of do. We use with passive, present perfect and past perfect!

someone can teach me how to use a right pronounsation??

Ronnie do you have a lesson with using a questions like : Do you …..? Does he …?does she…?

I don’t but search the website!

hi, ms ronnie. I have a question, when we can use : “Are and do” in a question ?

Are + adjectives. Are you hungry? Do + verb. Do you like pizza?

but how about in a profession, why in “profession” have to uses are, e.g . are you a nurse ?

Profession we use to be. I am a nurse. ( I to be a nurse) You cannot say I nurse , as nurse in this case is a verb.

nice presentation, i have one doubt. In presentense ” it + does & doesn’t ” ok . so past tense how it would be come inti picture ? i am eager to wait for ypur reply.

It did/didn’t!

Hi ronnie, i want to know about the use of did, do and does..please suggest me i want 2 learn that deeply..please suggest me

Hi Ronnie Help me with this sentence here “we are talking about the things that DON’T matter” why don’t is used here when “things” is/are and it.So,if am right there should be DOESN’T here insted of DON’T ?

Things = plural therefore are and don’t .

is/are a IT(non-living).

really thanks and very beautiful lesson.

Thank you :D

What’s the use of do do expression in english language…? reply…

Doo doo = poo.

You like him, don’t you? Here is the reason: http://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-tag-questions/

Hi Ronnie, I m from Pakistan and I love to listen your lectures. You r one of the good teacher I ever have seen in my life. I want to get DVD’s of your lectures, Plz tell me How can I get it?

yours truly,

Thanks Ronnie, you help me a lot

Hello Ronnie, I wanted to know that when do we use “does not” and when do we use “doesn’t” and also reason behind that and also about other such words for example:”have not,haven’t”,”did not,didn’t” and etc etc. I also wanted to know meanings of words such as “preety” much impossible..I’l “figure it out” and other such words used in english conversation. I hope that you’ll do lessons for me on these topics.. And I also hope that you’ll reply me as soon as possible..

Doesn’t = does ….they are the same. As well, haven’t ”have not,haven’t”,”did not,didn’t”. The only difference is that we use the shortened more and save the longer ones (have not) to make our point stronger. Preety is not a word. Pretty??? Pretty means beautiful and very.

hi,miss i don’t understand the use of do,does and doesn’t. what will come with ‘it’do or does.plz explain.thanx

thank so much i like this lesson and it is very nice lesson and helping me alot

I’m so poor in grammar . Why he didn’t text me or Why didn’t he text me . which one is correct ?

i always got a perfect score on your quiz but why is that im struggling to speak my English up?

congretulations ,I love your explain :) Do you are a english teacher?

Ohh.. Thanks for replying.. 1 more thing I wanted to know. We drink water from a bottle in two ways, 1.Without touching mouth as in holding it upwards and drinking. 2.By touching lips n mouth to bottle and drinking just like small children’s do. what can we say to tell a person that we have touched our mouth??? I hope u understood my question as I’m not able to explain it properly..

I am not too sure what you mean but…. babies suck on a bottle. If i drink from a bottle I put my lips on it – we don’t have a special word for this! To tell someone, I would just say my lips touched the bottle.

Very friendly explanation rather than Inglo-link.:)

May I know the difference between INTO & ONTO?

Into = inside Onto = on top

Can u explain the difference in use between do and did? For example “I don’t have friends” vs “I didn’t have friends”. Tx

Do = present tense Did = past tense. Watch the video again!

Yes you understood.. Thanks..

Hi Ronnie, I must tell you that I fine tuned my English fundamentals through your videos. It would be great if you can share a video on Will/Would/can/Could with have and haven’ts. Please

Search the site for “Will/Would/can/Could” there are lessons there for you!

“What does he do in the afternoon?” It is right?..Why do I have to use “do” in this question, I am really confuse. Can you explain this to me? Thanks!

If you just say what does he in the afternoon – it makes no sense! What does he eat/drink/say in the afternoon – you need a verb in the sentence!

Hi,can i use didn’t saw in a sentence or didn’t see is the correct one?

Didn’t see. Didn’t is past tense so you don’t need 2 past tense verbs!!!

thank you so much Ronnie thank you kindly you are good teacher your studint in kurdistan

Dear Ronnie,

Per you, Answer for the below quiz is “doesn’t”.. I wonder that why can’t we use “does” too?

She ________ like him, because he is very mean to her. do does doesn’t

Why would you like someone if they are very mean to you??

I just want to ask if this sentence is grammatically wrong.>>>> (I didn’t want to ask.)<<<< Is it grammatically correct? Why or why isn't it right?Thanks and more power to your site^^

Yes, your sentence is correct!

Search the site for “tenses”.

thanks alot i have a question.whn do e use WOULD? thanks in advance

Search the site for “Would”.

Hello! Teacher Ronnie. I’m from Brazil. I would like know about the between differences “like and as” in other words, when can I to use like and as, ie, which situations? thank you so much and congratulations for the lessons!!

LIKE The structure of the sentence is usually: VERB + LIKE + NOUN / PRONOUN. He speaks like a native speaker. She looks like a supermodel. AS The structure of the sentence is usually: AS + SUBJECT + VERB. Nobody sings as she does. They went to the party as they were. It is very common in American English to use LIKE instead of AS. However, it is generally considered informal to use it in this way.

We play football like champions do.

hi mam ronie i want to ask about somehow,anyhow,weither,either, how to use them in a conversation? hope you can help me thanks.

Look the words up in a dictionary…there will be example sentences for you there!

Hello,madam ronnie.

I have one question here. I saw the one shampoo product,the information wrote is “Did you know?Damaged hair is more prone to falling.” why is did but not do?i’m very confused about it.Hope you can help,thank you:)

You are correct……it should be “Do you know”!

Hi Teacher Ronnie, it’s me again! I have one more a question. Ok! The word “HOW” can I to use only at the beginning of sentences?

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Yes, most times we use it at the beginning. How are you? How is your mom? How is the steak? How do I get there? It is the same as the other wh questions = who what when where why + how!

I am fairly impressed with this site, and im glad i found it. I am currently living in Peru and am trying to teach kids some basic English, and one student asked me to talk about did and that, so this is great. Also, and just curious why was “it” excluded, like it did or it didn’t?

I am allergic to “it”! Ahahah just kidding… I forgot “it”!

thank you very much teacher Ronnie Do you is BRILLIANT!!

I like the way you are teaching and it is really help me to improve. Could you please provide me the difference between present/past & future with examples. I would really appreciate if you can reply me. thanks

Thank you …

/Does/always must be use He and She?

Yes, in the present tense.

Hi teacher! I just learn English grammar in Cambodia, but I don’t understand how to use HAVE and GET. I hearing you.God bless.

I want to clarify , if i want to say.. that place doesn’t have a soul or crowd attraction. Is that correct? I am confused for the usage of Doesn’t have.

And usage of did ..like.. he didn’t do this correctly. eg. with did we use.. present tense…

Thank you …

Hi Ronnie you are a good teacher however i am confused with this sentence.( what does he do in the afternoon ) please explain the use of do does and did with it and which form of verb should be there ….also want to check with you do we use does with singular and do with plurals.

what will we use with (IT)

if i didn’t know that ben doesn’t /don’t like vanilla cakes ???? answer

thank you so much ronnie.. :):)

Which one of the following sentences is correct? 1) Do John and Sally want to go? 2) Does John and sally want to go?

What do you think is correct?

I think ‘Do’ because John and sally are more than one person. Am I right ma’am?

I think correct is #1

I miss word “IT” in the video. There is used “does”.

Where should we use done in a sentences.

hi teacher .. I want ask for you what is difference between (wh + be and wh + do) When we use( verb to be .verb to do ) with the question . thanks for you

Be + adjective/noun. Where is he? Are you hungry? Do + verb. What does he like? Who does she like?

In understanding test, one of the question I choose ‘does’ and the answer is wrong and the right answer is stated below:

She doesn’t like him, because he is very mean to her.

I confused because it seem have a contradiction. Someone does not like somebody because it very mean? Perhaps you can explain more.

Mean = not nice. If someone is mean to you, they are not nice to you so you don’t like that person!

I’d like to ask about “Do & Does”. How to use “Do & Does” with subject OUR？ Thanks

With (our) you must use a noun, so it will depend if the noun is singular or plural! Singular noun use does. Our brother does his homework. Plural noun use do. Our parents do the taxes.

Thanks for reply

If asking a question? For example, How does/do our service? Use DO or Does?

i’m confused with this form “let god do the rest” i’m often hear this one. my question is why “God” use “do” why not use “does”? looking forward for your answer :)

Dear professor: I want to know when we must use the auxiliary do-does in the interrogative form, with the verbs to have and toe.

We use do/does with a regular verb. Do you like pizza? Does he have a job?

With a modal verb or to be verb, we do not use do/does! Are you sick? Is he funny? Should we go now?

I want to know what can we use with the subjective IT, DO/ Does, Because some teachers teach” we use does with 3rd person singular means he, she, it and any single noun.. Please strive to reform me..

This question will help lots of people. Is it a rule not to use plural after DO/DOES/DID? Example: He doesn’t LIKE. They don’t LIKE. He knows -> He doesn’t KNOW.

Thank you very much. Its really helpful.

i have some sentences which is always make me confused. here they are

1. let GOD DO the rest 2.i’m looking in the mirror all the time. wondering what SHE DON’Tsee me

look at the capslock pieces of the sentences. they both use “do” for the subjects “god” and “she”.

i know those sentences right because i found them from english-native but i don’t know what makes them right. i wish you read this comment Ronnie and get to answer my question. lots of thanks our beloved teacher :)

hello teacher! are(do, does, did)auxilary verbs? if not, what are they?

I was told it’s not correct to say “i think he’s not a good man” is it true? and i was suggested to say “i don’t think he’s a good man”! any one can tell me? thank in advance!!!!

just trying to help. i think both of them are right. the different is the meaning of each sentences

i made a wrong statement, those sentences have a like meaning

thanks, this really helped a lot. :)

hai mem am very much thank full to u r english class which u said am daily listener of u r english videos

English present tense singular 3rd person verb ends in “S”.EG I drink He she (and it) drinks. Therefore I do and he she it does. OWZAT?? PS I love the video Best regards from Chile Bernie R.

we can use did/didn’t with you also?

what to use with it, do or doesnt?

It does/doesn’t You does/doesn’t

i like the way of the teaching

i like your teaching it’s fantastic

i like this way

Amazing lesson .. I had some issues about that but now its fine.. Many thanks..

Amazing lesson but i have one doubt about that yet .. What can i use about personal names? Examples: Carlos will does your homework or Carlos will do your homework? Melinda doesnt like him or Melinda dont like him?

Thanks in advance..

Carlos and Melinda = he and she! So, you would use Carlos will do (you always use a base verb after will), and Melinda doesn’t like!

its so easy

Which is correct?

What does David and a football have in common?

What do David and a football have in common?

What do, because David is singular!

You have to say I played tennis. You can say I didn’t play tennis!

Could you please help me to explain when to use “Was” or “did” please

Was + adjective. I was hungry. Did + noun. I did my homework.

Hi there! i have a doubt about the proper uses for Do/Does. When we have a common sentence such as : “mike runs every morning” and we use it to make it a question, the subject (mike) shall be deleted form the question? e.g He run every morning? Or can we write: “Mike does run in the morning? I’m from Mexico by the way. Thanks for your help guys!

The question form is “Does Mike (or he) run in the morning? Do/does + subject + base verb!

Thanks i like very much ,i have some debut in have/has how to use?

http://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-have-has-had/

i would say this is a very goog programme keep it up and your best to society by the way good luck

I write articles for a nonprofit organization, papers for school etc. Can you proofread my work and correct my grammar as well? Or suggestions to make it stronger articles, & papers? If so, is there a way to send it to you through your email add? Please let me know. I really appreciate your kindness. Have a good one.

plz learn me… em too weak in english

my parents does not allow party is correct or my parents dont allow party which is correct mam plz tell

My parents are plural so you have to use do not! My parents do not allow SUBJECT to have a party. OR My parents do not allow subject to party.

Good morning to all of you. I have some confusions with DO NOT and NOT TO. I do not know when I have to use DO NOT and when I have to use NOT TO

Do not + verb. Do not go. Do not see.These are commands. I was told not to go…she said not to eat. We use these in reported speech.

THANK YOU ON HELP ME

do not look. and do not see

are they both correct?

Hi. I just want to ask if this sentence is correct, “Upon triggering the switch, magnetic contactor did not activate.”

“ the magnetic contactor” sounds better, I think.

if the subject is ‘You’ then what will come for negative past tense…..

do you say: she doesn´t love Peter or She doesn´t loves Peter

She doesn’t love Peter. (don’t change the verb)

why is “I told her not to drive” insted of “I told her don´t drive”

Told makes it reported speech. So….don’t+ base verb, changes to NOT TO + base verb!

hello Ronnie!am PEDRO learning in jewish family School,at Buffalo NEW YORK.you taucht about of do,does don’t doesn’t,u just used i,you ,he, she, they ,we. now about (it ?)i need your reply

Hi Ronnie, Thnak you very much for giving us very valuble knowlege nad they way of teaching is excellant. Second thing I would like know about should, could, would words uses in sentenses.

Ronnie you are the best teacher ever. I’m from Guatemala from the Castillo family the family of the Cerveceria de Guatemala look it in google hahaha sorry thanks !!!!

I like your way of teaching

my friend sad “He do that sometimes”

is this correct ??

No! He DOES that sometimes is correct! Now, you can correct your friend!

Thank you so much

I can’t understand when DO uses in positive sentenses like “He does need help” instead “He needs help”. What is the difference?

“He needs help” is a regular sentence. “He does need help” we use to emphasize (make stronger/clearer) the fact. We can use it if the listener did not understand the answer. Ex…. A)Does he need help? B)Yes, he needs help. A)What? I didn’t hear you. B)I said, He DOES need help!

mam, you explain all about it. but can you write the script what you said? because my lecture said that, i must write what you said. could you help me? please write some sentences for me..

Hi ms. Ronnie, I just had an interview last week and I was referred by a friend that works inside that company. Here’s my question, the HR asked me this “did he know that you’re here?” (referring to my friend). I answered her “No, he didn’t know.” did i answered it right? or should i say, “he doesn’t know.” thank you.

I don’t understand. Did use only negative and question??? may i use that: I did play the guitar.

hey i got 100 % thanx

Last Monday I started FCE Course here in Pordenone, in Italy. Today were the second lesson and we did some exercises with “do” and “does”… now I’m going to study this verb… because this is very important… We didn’t can use vocabulary, we didn’t can write with reading words, we must remember all the words we have seen or have heard during the oral exercise or during the lesson. It’s very hard for me… Thaks Mrs Ronnie, for this lesson it’s very useful.

How about the questions?

yes, I very happy becouse I got 100%. Thank a lot Teacher Ronnie. And I will practice, For I will not forget.

Thank you Ronnie you’re the best!

God bless you

waau! I am so proud.

HI, Ma’am Ronnie, May I ask if it’s sentence right,.. Ms. Reyes has arrived with bag.

may we have a in past lessons

Hi Ronnie! Here’s one very interesting question I guess! But I really need you to answer me, please!!!!! I noticed that Americans use “don’t” with it and he very often!!! in spoken English, even in the songs! For example: … and even forever don’t seem like long enough … or he don’t know what to do!!! Thus the question is: how often do you use it in your life and maybe you have some kinda rules in your spoken language when you can use it or not? Or maybe it just happens automatically when somebody speak and doesn’t depend on any “spoken rules”. Thank you and I’m very looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards!

I passed the exam.

Thank you Ronnie.

I’m Brazilian..thanks Ronnie for the class. God bless u

thank you maam… ahm, may i ask something maam? if i will use IT and im refering IT to a thing. then, can i say such like this? IT does/doesn’t?

Ah i got it perfect hehe thanks btw :)

THANKS A LOT

My father don’t know how to cut hairs. My father doesn’t know how to cut hairs.

Which is the correct sentence.

Can you tell me Ronne Please.

Thank you for the lessons. I have doubt She does have a car. she has a car . which one is correct ?

Thank you Mam Ronnie.

Mr. Rajkumar, “don’t” and “doesn’t are both negative in the sentence. The difference is the first sentence is first person singular, and second is third person singular.

Harsha, both sentence are correct. “Has” is the third person singular of the present tense “have”. In the first sentence “does have” means you want to emphasize something.

Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Hi Ronnie, Could you please explain the Question Form for “Do” Verb? it will be very helpful :)

Good lesson!

I like this lesson. Do you have other videos about grammar? I don’t understend english, but this lesson was easy to me. I got 4/4 correct questions on the Quiz. Thanks, Ronnie!

Hello, Ronnie. I have a question about using pronouns. I can’t understand why sometimes we can skip it? And where we can, where we can’t? I mean about… well. As I know, I don’t have to say “I DO read a book”. But sometimes I loose this pronoun when I have to say it. And it’s the problem… Thank you:)

Writing Tips

Grammar: When to Use Do, Does, and Did

3-minute read

12th August 2022

Verbs are essential to creating complete sentences, as they help us express physical actions ( She jumped in the puddle) , mental actions ( He thought about puppies) , and states of being ( I am hungry) .

There are several types of verbs that can each be written in different tenses, so they can be tricky to work with, especially if English isn’t your first language . We’ve put together a guide to help you use one of the most common verbs, do , in your writing . Read on below to learn more!

Action Verbs

As the name suggests, action verbs are used to express actions completed by the subject of a sentence. The base verb do is conjugated according to the tense:

1. Present Tense

In the present tense, do takes the form do or does, depending on the subject:

Consider the following examples:

We do our homework every night.

She does her homework every night.

2. Past Tense

In the simple past tense , the base verb do takes the form did with all subjects:

We did our homework last night.

She did her homework last night.

Auxiliary Verbs

Auxiliary , or helping verbs, are used with another base verb to create negative sentences, questions, or add emphasis. Here’s how do should be used as an auxiliary verb:

1. Negative Sentences

Following the same subject–verb pairings introduced above, we combine the auxiliaries do , does , and did with the adverb not to create negative sentences:

We do not do our homework every night.

She did not do her homework last night.

Note that we can combine the auxiliary and the adverb to create the contractions don’t , doesn’t , and didn’t . You simply remove the space between the two words and replace the letter o in not with an apostrophe (’).

Contractions are more common in conversations and informal writing and typically shouldn’t be used in formal writing (e.g., academic or business).

2. Questions

To create questions, the auxiliary is combined with the infinitive of another verb in this way: auxiliary verb + subject + infinitive verb .

● Simple present questions:

Do they sell children’s books?

Does he speak English?

Note that the third person verb speaks isn’t spelled with the s when paired with the auxiliary to form a question.

● Simple past questions:

Did you buy anything at the bookstore?

Did he learn how to speak English?

Note that did indicates the past tense, so the main verbs don’t also take the past tense (i.e., bought and learned ).

3. Emphasis

In positive sentences, we can also combine the auxiliaries do , does , and did with the main verb to emphasize that something is true:

We do sell children’s books.

He did learn to speak English.

Try saying these sentences aloud and adding emphasis to the auxiliary terms with your tone. It adds a dramatic effect!

EN: He doesn't do his exercises

Thread starter whims
Start date Nov 23, 2011

Hello everybody, In my brother's English notebook, he wrote : " he doesn't do his exercises ". The "doesn't do" part sounds really weird to me ! But... I can't find anything better... Is this sentence correct ? Why should 2 auxillaries be used ? If this is not correct, what should be said ? Thank you for you help.

truffe2miel

I would prefer to say "he doesn't achieve", but I can't see why it'd be wrong? To do acts as a verb every so often, and also behaves like one most of the time. Here it serves as a verb-like word, so the sentence seems correct.

The second "do" does not act as an auxiliary verb in that sentence.

Yes, doesn't do is perfectly correct and idiomatic in that sentence. Cheers!

timboleicester

Nov 24, 2011

I am sorry but you can't say "doesn't achieve" here. "doesn't do" is perfect and feels completely right.

Keith Bradford

C'est tout aussi normal pour les anglophones que "je lui ai fait faire ses devoirs" l'est en français.

Nov 28, 2011

Thank you very much everybody for your answers ! truffe2miel > What I did not understand is why "do" is used twice in the same sentence, why the negative form need the use of another "do". I understand it now by comparing with other verbs : "he want a peace of cake" > "he doesn't want a peace of cake" "he do his exercises" > "he doesn't do his exercises" I have to work on it as I never saw it this way ! Outsider > I never saw "do" as being used both as a verb OR an axillary. I thought it was both verb AND axillary. Keith Bradford > Je n'ai pas le sentiment que "faire faire" soit la même chose en français car il s'agit alors d'exprimer l'intervention d'une tierce personne. C'est le "make someone do something" en anglais. Les deux sont utilisés en tant que verbe, non ?

"he want s a peace of cake" > "he doesn't want a peace of cake" "he do es his exercises" > "he doesn't do his exercises" I have corrected the mistakes above. Remember with he/she/it the verb in the present tense has an "s" or "es" added. I understand that you feel it odd but that's just to be overcome. Sometime the do is repeated and yes this gives rise to some comic effect but it is completely right.So be happy in the knowledge that "you do do it right!"

Whims, je voulais simplement dire que la répétition d'un mot n'est pas en soi une erreur. Don't do (même do do ) est aussi correct que faire faire l'est dans certaines phrases en français. Le sens n'a rien à voir, c'est le phénomène de la répétition dont je parlais. Les Anglophones peuvent même pousser la répétition à l'extrême, qui serait : In the grammar contest, John, where Mary had had "had", had had "had had"; "had had" had had the judges' approval. (= Dans le concours de grammaire, John avait écrit "eût eu" là où Mary avait mis "eu". C'est "eût eu" qui avait retenu l'approbation des juges.)

Also note that "do do" is totally fine as well, when "do" is used as an emphatic: "He keeps saying that I don't do enough work around here. But I do do my fair share, and more!" Keith wasn't saying that "faire faire" is the same as "do (not) do." But is true that in French "Je lui ai fait faire ses devoirs" is grammatically correct, just as in English "I made him make me pasta" is correct. The trick is to realize that sometimes the same verb can be doing different things, even in the same sentence.

Apr 26, 2012

This is so simple. Positive: he does / he plays / he eats Negative: he does not do / he does not play / he does not eat Contracted negative: he doesn't do / he doesn't play / he doesn't eat There is no other way to create a negative in English - we bring in a negative version of the verb "to do ". Bizarre, I know. Maybe that's why I learned French instead.

vmf said: There is no other way to create a negative in English - we bring in a negative version of the verb "to do ". Click to expand...

Apr 27, 2012

OK, slight over-simplification on my part. I should have said that the basic and most frequently-used way to make a simple present tense negative in English has to involve the verb "to do". It is certainly the only way to form a simple negative form of "he does": "he does not do"without adding meaning which is not there in the original.

"He never does his exercises" would also work. (Sorry, devil's advocate!)

No it would not. I did say "without adding meaning which is not there in the original." "Never" adds the information that he has not at any point done them, whereas the original states that he is not at present doing them. The former may be true, but is not even implied. Have a happy weekend, cycling like me, or grooming your dog, or cooking Thai, or recording Gregorian chant.

Hm. "He doesn't do his exercises" is not itself necessarily equivalent to "He is not at present doing his exercises." I would suggest that the opposite you're implying is "He isn't doing his exercises." (Technically, that's a negation of the present progressive, which itself doesn't take a "to do" helper, since "to be" is negated merely with "not.") And "He isn't doing his exercises" (only an at-present meaning) is not equivalent to "He doesn't do his exercises." "He doesn't do his exercises" - just like "he isn't Scottish" - can be entirely existential, meaning that at no point, now or earlier and even in the future, does he do his exercises. "He never does his exercises" would work. "He never does his exercises" is entirely understandable as a corollary to "He doesn't do his exercises," particularly without any context. In fact, it can refer only to a recent present, if I want it to: "What happened to Billy after spring break? Now, he never does his exercises and he's always asleep in class." In short, "never" can mean "at present"; just as "does not do" can mean "at no point has he done." Both senses are possible in both kinds of negative sentences. Negation, particularly when compounded by time-problems with English verbs, is in fact tricky. But it's not pedagogically helpful to say something categorical like "There is no other way to create a negative in English," when there are, in fact, others.

So we are talking pedagogy here. Language is an applied science and does not exist in a hypothetical universe. It is context-driven. I post as somebody who has just written 60 school reports and is just about to write 40 more (about 180 over the year - one per pupil for whom I have main responsibility). "He does not do his homework" (I would never use the word 'exercises') means that in the recent period relevant to the annual report he has done no homework. He may have done some homework (say between August and December) but for present purposes in April he is doing nothing. (Incidentally I would never use this expression. In the ratings section of the reports programme I would indicate a 4 (needs to improve) for homework, and would write something like "He needs to remember to do the home-study set, which is designed to help him progress.") "He never does his homework" would suggest that he has done not a smidgeon of homework since I started teaching him last June (or possibly August). By this time the parent would already know this, since a variety of communications on the subject of lack of homework would have landed through the letter-box. This report would also indicate a 4 for homework, and would say something like "It is essential that he starts to complete home-study tasks, which will help him learn and make progress". You are adding context by adding "Now" to "he never does..." In the case of a pupil who formerly did homework but has suddenly changed attitude and behaviour, I would have long since alerted the pupil's Guidance teacher who would probably have contacted the parent, since a change of behaviour can indicate a new anxiety, a change of mental state, or reaction to physical, sexual or mental abuse. The parent would never learn this in the first instance from a report. What planet are your language examples coming from? Mine are from the planet Scotland.

Apr 29, 2012

Yes but it might be physical exercises and not homework and as the point of confusion was the repeated "do" In any case exercises could refer to the questions at the end of piece of text. But context is every thing.

May 4, 2012

Yes indeed , context is everything and towards the end of a long career in schools I cannot imagine any context in which a pupil might be required by a native speaker to "do his exercises" in PE. He might not follow instructions in PE classes, might refuse to take part in activities, might be a member of a team who does not take part properly in the training routine. "Does not do his exercises" suggests that the pupil stands immobile in singlet and shorts while the ex-army instructor of physical jerks shouts and blows a whistle at him. Archaic in the extreme. Activities based on a written text may still in some places be referred to as "exercises", but here again in the context of 21st century schools, they are a pupil's work, or class-work, or homework. Said pupil might avoiding doing work, might not follow instructions for classwork, might not co-operate in class, might not complete homework. "Does not do his exercises" still does not give me even the vaguest notion of whether this unfortunate child is lazy in class, doesn't do homework, or declines to complete the required number of press-ups. I suggest that your brother finds a teacher who can speak English.

We had "exercises" in my classes in the US; we also did not have PE. (In "21st-century schools" there is increasingly less and less PE class.) VMF, you're importing a context to this sentence that doesn't have one. To me, "he doesn't do his exercises" refers primarily to homework, and not to physical exercise. You're also assuming that the teacher wrote "does not do his exercises." We don't know that either.

May 5, 2012

Your context too may or may not be relevant. Well I refuse to be exercised about this matter any more and am signing off this thread. I am about to enjoy some exercise in the form of a long cycle ride. I won't do any exercises beforehand to warm up, just cycle gently to start with. My pupils may or may not do exercises this weekend, depending on whether they are sporty types or not. They may forget to do their homework as it's a holiday long weekend. They will all have compulsory PE twice next week when they are back in school. They will be doing lots of different activities when they are back in my class, some of which will be questions in response to a text. If they don't work in class I might write in the next report that they don't take part properly in classwork, if they don't work at home I will write that they don't do homework. Whether they do exercises or not I will leave to their sports trainer (if they have one) to judge.

Donald Trump could face prison time if he is convicted in upcoming NY hush money trial

If former President Donald Trump is convicted on all counts in his New York criminal hush money trial that begins April 15, he could theoretically face more than a decade in prison.

But most legal experts who spoke to USA TODAY said such a dramatic outcome is unlikely. Instead, he would likely be sentenced to something between probation and four years in prison. And he would probably still be out, free to campaign for president as the presumptive or actual 2024 Republican nominee, while his all-but-certain appeal was pending.

Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Each count carries a maximum sentence of four years.

While Trump could in principle be sentenced to serve multiple counts consecutively, several experts said that is unlikely because he has no felony criminal record and the charges don't involve allegations of physical violence.

On the other hand, Trump has tested boundaries and feuded with the judge who may determine his fate.

Trump has antagonized Judge Juan Merchan

Trump's sentence would be decided by Judge Juan Merchan, who has grown exasperated by the former president's pretrial behavior. Merchan expanded a gag order this month after Trump attacked the judge's daughter on social media over her marketing work with Democratic candidates, including posting a photo of her. Merchan said Trump has a history of attacking the family members of judges and lawyers in his legal cases.

"The average observer, must now, after hearing Defendant's recent attacks, draw the conclusion that if they become involved in these proceedings, even tangentially, they should worry not only for themselves, but for their loved ones as well ," Merchan wrote in his gag order decision .

John Moscow, a New York lawyer who spent 30 years in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, told USA TODAY that type of behavior could worsen any sentence Trump faces.

"If I were representing somebody in (Trump's) position, I would suggest to him that the judge is the one who imposes sentence and he ought to be careful," Moscow said.

If Merchan did consider a hefty sentence, it wouldn't be the first time he has taken a harsh view about behavior in Trump's orbit.

In 2023, Merchan was forced to sentence former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg to only five months in jail because Merchan had previously accepted a plea bargain agreement between Weisselberg and prosecutors specifying that jail term. Weisselberg pleaded guilty to tax and record falsification charges and agreed to testify against the Trump Organization at trial in order to get that sentence.

The judge said, however, that he "would be imposing a sentence much greater than that" had he not accepted the plea bargain before hearing all the evidence at the trial. Without the plea deal, Weisselberg could have faced many years in prison.

What is Trump charged with?

Trump has pleaded not guilty to all counts in the case, which focuses on whether he falsified business records to cover up reimbursements to his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 hush money payment to Daniels. Daniels has said she had a sexual encounter with Trump soon after Melania Trump gave birth to their son, Barron Trump. Trump denies the claim.

In order to secure felony convictions, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office must convince a 12-person jury that Trump falsified the records in order to commit or conceal another crime. In this case, Bragg argues Trump was trying to conceal a federal campaign finance law violation by falsely recording his reimbursements to Cohen as payments for legal services. The federal violation was a limit-exceeding contribution to Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, as the payment was allegedly designed to keep Daniels' story from hurting the then-Republican nominee's election prospects. Bragg also alleges Trump was trying to conceal a plan to violate New York tax and election laws.

Nothing in the Constitution prevents Trump from becoming president even if he is convicted or sentenced to prison. If he won the election, however, courts may delay any prison time until after his term in office expires .

What is the maximum possible sentence?

The 34 felony counts Trump faces are classified as "Class E felonies" under New York law – the lowest level felony in the state. The maximum penalty on each count is four years of prison, and a judge would have discretion over whether to order Trump to serve sentences on each count at the same time or one after the other. However, New York caps such sentencing for Class E felonies at 20 years .

In addition, New York judges often impose sentencing ranges, where an incarcerated person becomes eligible for parole at the low end of the range. For Class E felonies, the lowest end of a range would be one-and-a-third years per count, while the highest would be four years. Good behavior in jail or prison can speed things up even more.

A sentence limited to probation?

Merchan would also have discretion to order a fixed sentence of less than those ranges, including probation.

That's what Mitchell Epner, a New York lawyer with decades of criminal law experience, expects would happen even if Trump were convicted on all counts. Epner noted the felony charges aren't violent and don't involve drugs.

"With a defendant who has no prior criminal record, my absolute expectation would be a sentence of probation," Epner told USA TODAY.

Epner wasn't alone in thinking that could be the sentencing outcome.

"This is a case that does not involve any physical violence, and it doesn't – there's not sort of a 'named victim,' so to speak – and so the court is going to take that into consideration," Anna Cominsky, who directs the Criminal Defense Clinic at New York Law School, told USA TODAY.

"In addition, I think it is unlikely that he would be sent to prison given who he is, given both the fact that he has no criminal record, and there is no getting around the fact that he is a former president of the United States," Cominsky said.

Incarceration a real possibility

Norman Eisen, a Brookings Institution senior fellow who served as special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee during Trump's first impeachment, thought a sentence that includes some incarceration is likely.

Eisen co-authored a report looking at sentencing for other defendants with no criminal history who were convicted of falsifying business records in New York. There, he noted one construction executive was sentenced in 2015 to spend two days each week in jail for a year for falsifying records to conceal payments in a bribery scheme. In 2013, two corporate executives were ordered to spend four to six months in jail for falsifying records to misclassify their salaries as expenses under their employer's larger bribery and fraud scheme.

"I think he's likely to face a sentence of incarceration if he's convicted," Eisen told USA TODAY.

Cominsky said the evidence Merchan hears at trial could also influence his thinking when it comes to sentencing.

"Often you'll hear judges refer to testimony at trial, evidence that was presented at trial, and say, 'This is why I'm imposing this sentence, because I heard from this particular witness or I saw this particular piece of evidence,'" Cominsky said.

Moscow pushed back against the assumption that Trump's sentences on each count would run simultaneously, instead of being stacked on top of each other. Just as a judge may take into account that a defendant has won a Nobel Peace Prize or lifted orphans from poverty, the judge may look at significant evidence of bad acts, Moscow said.

"When you start attacking the judge's daughter, and making her out to be a target, you have just breached the normal rules," Moscow said.

Trump has also posted a photo of himself wielding a bat, with his eyes directed toward an adjacent photo of Bragg, among other attacks on the district attorney. Bragg's office has received thousands of harassing emails, calls, and texts – including death threats – after Trump's social media attacks, it said in a court filing .

Diana Florence, a New York lawyer who spent decades in the Manhattan District Attorney's office, said Merchan's sentence would need to have some relation to what other white-collar defendants in similar cases have received, and she would be surprised if someone had ever gotten a sentencing range for falsifying business records with a minimum of 10 years or more.

Such a long sentence "would be very, very, very, very unusual, and if Judge Merchan wanted to make a point and do that, I highly doubt the appellate division would allow that to stand," she said. "It's just too much time for the conduct."

However, Florence added that a reasonable sentencing range could include a minimum period of more than a year incarcerated.

Sentencing someone with Secret Service protection?

Contemplating any jail or prison sentence would take Merchan into unchartered territory: Trump is the first former president ever criminally charged, and the Secret Service provides him with around-the-clock security.

But avoiding a sentence of incarceration on that basis risks undermining the idea of equal treatment under the law, Moscow suggested.

"If I were the judge − and I don't know what a judge would do in this case − I would reject out of hand the concept that because he was once president, and because as a matter of policy the Secret Service guards former presidents, that therefore he can't go to jail," Moscow said.

The question would then become how to reconcile equal treatment with ensuring a former president's security, according to Moscow. The judge could get creative, for example by ordering the former president to stay in a hotel wing or at a military base, where he is isolated just like any other prisoner but still has Secret Service protection.

"You can structure things to achieve the proper result without conceding that the defendant has the upper hand," Moscow said.

Chances of immediate prison? 'Less than 1%'

Many convicted defendants are "remanded" pending sentencing, a process in which they are taken into custody while they await their sentence, Florence said.

But Florence didn't expect Merchan to give that order when it comes to Trump, and even if Merchan did, Trump would likely be able to get bail set by an appeals court in the thousands of dollars to stay free during his appeal. That's all the more likely if Trump receives a low sentence, since the appeal could take longer than his actual sentence, she said.

"The chances of him going to prison immediately, even if he's convicted in whatever, six weeks from now or whenever, are I would say less than 1% because he would immediately be released on bail pending appeal," according to Florence.

Eisen agreed Trump probably wouldn't be incarcerated by Election Day, even if he's convicted on all counts.

"I think he's extremely unlikely to be forced to serve that sentence pending appeal," Eisen said.

What Worries Me Most About a Trump Presidency

A 3D-modeled illustration of Donald Trump, with his head cut out of frame, speaking at a podium with a presidential seal on the front. Dollars bills and gold coins are spilling from his suit pockets, and he is surrounded by stacks of cash and sacks of money with dollar signs on the front.

By Caroline Fredrickson

Ms. Fredrickson is an adviser at the Open Markets Institute, a senior fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice and a visiting professor of law at Georgetown University.

There are almost daily headlines now describing what Donald Trump would do if elected: the mass deportations, the pardons handed out to his friends and golf buddies, the Justice Department settling scores and waging personal vendettas. The former president has even promised violence if the election goes against him, warning that it could be a “ blood bath .”

But as worrying as these prospects are, they are far from the biggest threats he poses. What we should fear most is Mr. Trump transforming our government into a modern-day Tammany Hall, installing a kleptocratic leadership that will be difficult if not impossible to dislodge.

I do not discount the possibility of state-sponsored violence, and I worry deeply about the politicization of the civil service . But those are, for the most part, threats and theories, and while they need to be taken seriously, people should be paying more attention to a far more likely reality: that Mr. Trump would spend much of his time in office enriching himself. He failed spectacularly as an insurrectionist and as a disrupter of the civil service, and his clownish and chaotic style may well lead to failure again — but he has succeeded time and time again in the art of the steal. If his grift continues into a second term, it will not only contribute to the fraying trust Americans have in their institutions, but also impair our ability to lead the world through a series of escalating crises.

Recall how Mr. Trump operated in his first term. Not only did he keep his stake in more than a hundred businesses, he made it a practice to visit his properties around the country, forcing taxpayers to pay for rooms and amenities at Trump hotels for the Secret Service and other staff members who accompanied him — money that went straight into his bank accounts and those of his business partners. Those interested in currying favor with the president, from foreign governments to would-be government contractors, knew to spend money at his hotels and golf clubs. According to internal Trump hotel documents, T-Mobile executives spent over $195,000 at the Trump Washington Hotel after announcing a planned merger with Sprint in April 2018. Two years later, the merger was approved.

Government, like fish, rots from the head down. Mr. Trump’s example freed up cabinet members to award huge contracts to their friends, business associates and political allies, while others ran their departments like personal fiefs. After the State Department’s inspector general was fired , Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s use of official trips for clandestine meetings with conservative donors and allegations that his family misused staff members for tasks like walking his dog, picking up his wife from the airport and fetching his takeout came to light. And, in addition to being accused of improperly accepting gifts from those seeking influence, several other cabinet members were alleged to have used government funds for private travel . These may seem like banal infractions, but taken together, they are a reflection of who Mr. Trump is and how he governs.

Throughout his life, through Trump-branded wine, chocolate bars, sneakers, NFTs, ties, MAGA paraphernalia, a $59.99 Bible (of all things ) and, most recently, his Truth Social meme stock ploy, he has shown an unstoppable drive to enrich himself at all costs. He sees politics, like business, as a zero-sum game in which he wins only if someone else loses. These are the instincts that drive corruption, kleptocracy and grift. And, if past is prologue, we’re looking at a much more damaging sequel.

In a second term, Mr. Trump will have more freedom and power to undertake grift. He has already vowed to use pardons to protect supporters and possibly even himself from efforts to curb corruption (which may explain the nonchalance with which his son-in-law Jared Kushner has greeted criticism about the conflicts of interest raised by his recent real estate investments in Serbia and Albania, as well as the Saudi, Qatari and Emirati investments in his wealth fund). And he and his political advisers are building a deep bench of committed and loyal employees who could corrode and potentially destroy mechanisms of accountability in government, paving the way for kleptocratic leaders to entrench themselves in the bureaucracy where many would be able to remain past Mr. Trump’s term. And the mere presence of a phalanx of unquestioning lieutenants in the civil service will ensure that other civil servants fear retribution for objecting to the self-enrichment.

Naturally, I worry about other things, too, particularly the possibility of political violence. Mr. Trump could well claim he has won the election no matter the vote count and call on his supporters to rise up to ensure his takeover. Even before the votes are cast, his supporters are threatening election officials, judicial officials and state legislators, trying to intimidate them into either helping Mr. Trump or stepping aside to be replaced by Trumpists.

But legal, law enforcement and security obstacles are still in place to slow down or stop these efforts. We must remember that this time around, President Biden will still be president, able to control the military and federal law enforcement, and Congress has amended the outdated and vague Electoral Count Act to make it much harder for Mr. Trump’s congressional allies to contest a Trump loss in the electoral college or on Capitol Hill.

No such guardrails exist to curb Trumpian corruption. The Supreme Court, itself corrupt , has made it virtually impossible to prosecute even the most blatant corruption by government officials.

In a kleptocracy, corruption is a feature, not a bug, where politicians apply the law inconsistently , favoring friends and punishing enemies. By controlling government assets and handing them out to friends and family — and dangling possibilities in front of would-be supporters — as well as using politically motivated prosecutions, kleptocrats cement their control of government and disempower opponents. We need only recall Russia’s erstwhile effort to create a democracy: It quickly drained away into the pockets of Vladimir Putin and his oligarchs, leading to the hopelessness and acquiescence of Russian citizens once they realized they could no longer change their situation through democratic means.

Now we face that danger at home. If Mr. Trump wins, America will have a leader invested in his own personal power, both financial and punitive, and supported by a much more capable team. When lucrative contracts are handed out to Trumpist loyalists regardless of merit and dissident voices are targeted and silenced, America’s leadership on the global stage will dissolve when it’s needed most.

The consequences will echo for generations if we lack the ability and the will to attack problems like climate change, mass migration, a new space race and multiple wars. Nothing of substance will be done, Mr. Trump’s cronies will continue to act with impunity, and millions of Americans — already worried that elites are held to a different standard than regular people are — will lose even more confidence in their government, convinced that everyone in Washington is out for himself.

This combination of passivity on the one hand and impunity on the other could be fatal for our democracy. This is the true danger Mr. Trump poses.

Trump's hush money trial begins Monday. Here's what to expect.

Donald Trump will become the first former president to stand trial in a criminal case next week — and he'll do so against the backdrop of a presidential campaign in which he's the presumptive Republican nominee.

Jury selection begins Monday in New York City, and the trial is expected to last six to eight weeks.

Here's a look at what you need to know and what's expected to happen.

How long is jury selection expected to last?

Jury selection is expected to last one to two weeks. Starting Monday, prosecutors and lawyers for Trump will seek to whittle a pool of potentially hundreds of people to 12 jurors and six alternates. Each juror will answer 42 questions designed to discern whether they can be impartial about the polarizing former president. Questions include inquiries about what news sources they follow and whether they've ever attended any Trump rallies or protests. The jurors will be anonymous, meaning their identities will be withheld from the public because of security concerns.

A criminal trial involving Trump's company before the same judge in 2022 took a week to select 12 jurors and five alternates.

What is Trump charged with?

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of first-degree falsifying business records, a low-level felony. Trump faces a maximum of four years behind bars if he’s convicted.

What is the prosecution alleging?

Prosecutors allege Trump “repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election.”

At the heart of the case are allegations of various sex scandals that prosecutors say Trump tried to suppress with the help of his lawyer Michael Cohen and top executives in charge of the National Enquirer. In the final days of the election, Cohen paid $130,000 to one of the women, adult film star Stormy Daniels, to keep silent about her claim she'd had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. Trump has denied the allegation.

After he was elected, Trump reimbursed Cohen through a series of checks from his trust that were processed through the Trump Organization and labeled as payments "for legal services rendered" — a claim the DA says was false.

What is Trump’s defense?

Trump has maintained he didn’t do anything wrong, and while he has acknowledged reimbursing Cohen, he has said he didn’t know details about what Cohen was doing.

His lawyers are likely to target Cohen on the witness stand by painting him as a liar who loathes the former president and whose testimony shouldn’t be believed. They’re likely to be aggressive with Daniels, as well, and they’re expected to focus on comments she has made mocking Trump in an effort to portray her as biased and untrustworthy.

Who will testify for the prosecution?

Cohen, who says Trump directed him to make the payment to Daniels, is expected to be a key witness, as is Daniels. Trump's attorneys sought to bar both from testifying, but Judge Juan Merchan gave both the green light to take the stand. Daniels' former attorney Keith Davidson is likely to testify about his negotiations over the payment, a source with direct knowledge of the situation said.

Also expected to testify is Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with Trump, a claim he denies. She received money from the Enquirer to keep quiet about her allegations in what prosecutors said was part of a "catch and kill" scheme designed to keep a lid on potential Trump scandals.

David Pecker, a Trump ally who was the CEO of Enquirer publisher AMI at the time, is also expected to be called, the source said. Dylan Howard, another former AMI executive involved in the discussions with Trump and Cohen, may also testify.

Former White House communications director Hope Hicks — who prosecutors have said was involved in phone calls among Trump, Cohen and AMI — and former Trump assistant Madeleine Westerhout are also likely to take the stand, the source said.

Jurors are also expected to hear from Jeffrey McConney, the former controller for the Trump Organization, and Deborah Tarasoff, a former accounts payable supervisor at the company, the source said.

Who will testify in Trump's defense?

Court filings show Trump plans to call Bradley A. Smith, a former Federal Election Commission chair who will testify about the FEC and its function, laws it's responsible for enforcing and definitions and terms that relate to the case. The judge ruled he won’t be allowed to offer his opinion about whether Trump's actions violated election law, as Trump had hoped he would.

Trump, who is the only person who can directly rebut some of Cohen's claims, said Friday that he would "absolutely" testify in the trial. He is not required to take the stand.

Will Trump have to be in court every day?

Unlike the New York civil fraud and E. Jean Carroll defamation trials, the DA's case is criminal, so Trump is required to be in court every day to participate in his defense. The trial is off on Wednesdays, but Trump will have to be in court for the four other days of the court week. The trial days are expected to last from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Trump has suggested he might do campaign events at night after having attended court during the day.

How many jurors' votes are needed for a conviction or an acquittal?

To reach a verdict, all 12 jurors must agree on whether Trump is guilty or not guilty of a specific charge.
