Explanation of Negative Sentences:
In English, we use ''do not'' (don't) and ''does not'' (doesn't) to make negative sentences in the simple present tense.

For ''I,'' ''you,'' ''we,'' and ''they'', use ''do not'' (don't)
Example: I do not like coffee. (I don't like coffee.)
Example: They do not play soccer. (They don't play soccer.)

For ''he,'' ''she,'' and ''it'', use ''does not'' (doesn't)
Example: She does not eat meat. (She doesn’t eat meat.)
Example: It does not work. (It doesn’t work.)

Important Rules:
The main verb stays in its base form (without ''s'') after ''does not'' (doesn't)
Example: He doesn’t like apples. (Not: He doesn’t likes apples.)

We do not use ''do'' or ''does'' with the verb ''be'' (am, is, are).
Example: She is not a teacher. (Not: She doesn’t is a teacher.)
