negative sentences ?
To make negative sentences there is a rule you have to follow :
I live in morocco I do not live in morocco
The rule here is that we add “Do not” between the subject and the verb .
● She doesn't like coffee .
Do not is usually
● He doesn't go to the gym .
replaced with its
contracted form which is “ ● It doesn't ring a bell .
Don't ” , And “ doesn't ”
for 3rd person singular
(He/she/it)
