The Simple Present of the verb to do is conjugated as follows: I do you do he does she does it does we do they do Auxiliaries are verbs which are combined with other verbs to form various tenses. It should be noted that when an auxiliary is combined with another verb, it is the auxiliary which must agree with the subject, while the form of the other verb remains invariable. When the auxiliary do is combined with another verb, the other verb always has the form of the bare infinitive. a. Questions In order to form a question in the Simple Present of any verb other than the verb to be, the Simple Present of the auxiliary do is added before the subject, and the bare infinitive of the verb is placed after the subject. For example: Affirmative Statement Question   I work.   Do I work?   You work.   Do you work?   He works.   Does he work?   She works.   Does she work?   It works.   Does it work?   We work.   Do we work?   They work.   Do they work?       b. Negative statements In order to form a negative statement, the Simple Present of the auxiliary do followed by the word not is placed before the bare infinitive of the verb. For example: Affirmative Statement Negative Statement   I work.   I do not work.   You work.   You do not work.   He works.   He does not work.   She works.   She does not work.   It works.   It does not work.   We work.   We do not work.   They work.   They do not work. In spoken English, the following contractions are often used: Without contractions With contractions   do not   don't   does not   doesn't           To form a negative question, the Simple Present of the auxiliary do is placed before the subject, and the word not followed by the bare infinitive is placed after the subject. However, when contractions are used, the contracted form of not follows immediately after the Simple Present of the auxiliary do. For example: Without contractions With contractions   Do I not work?   Don't I work?   Do you not work?   Don't you work?   Does he not work?   Doesn't he work?   Does she not work?   Doesn't she work?   Does it not work?   Doesn't it work?   Do we not work?   Don't we work?   Do they not work?   Don't they work?
