स्वतंत्र और बोली जाने वाली अंग्रेजी में ‘Does’ का सही उपयोग

‘Does’ is a very common word in English that is used to form questions and negative sentences in the present simple tense. It is the third person singular form of the verb ‘do’. In Hindi, ‘does’ can be translated as ‘करता है’ or ‘करती है’ depending on the gender of the subject.

3. Does your brother live in London? (क्या तेरे भाई लंदन में रहता है?)
4. She doesn’t speak French. (वह फ्रेंच नहीं बोलती है।)

Now, let’s look at some common mistakes people make when using ‘does’:

1. Using ‘do’ instead of ‘does’ when talking about the third person singular. For example, saying “He do” instead of “He does”.
2. Forgetting to add ‘not’ after ‘does’ to make a negative sentence. For example, saying “She does play tennis” instead of “She doesn’t play tennis”.
3. Using ‘does’ in positive sentences instead of ‘do’. For example, saying “They does their homework” instead of “They do their homework”.
