--description--

Before you learned to ask questions using do, you can also use it to create negative sentences by combining do (for I, you, we, they) or does (for he, she, it) with the word not and placing it right before the main verb:

I do not work everyday - (Subject + do + not + main verb)

It does not function - (Subject + does + not + main verb)

Often, to be more practical people abbreviate do not to don't and does not to doesn't.

Just like with questions, when you use don't, the main verb that comes after it will always be in its base form, no matter who you're talking about.
