👩‍🏫 Ms. Williams says:
"Today we learn the simple present negative."
오늘은 단순 현재 부정문을 배웁니다.

부정문을 만들 때 don't 또는 doesn't를 동사 앞에 씁니다.
동사는 반드시 원형을 씁니다. -s/-es를 붙이지 않습니다.

I / we / you / they → don't + 동사원형
he / she / it → doesn't + 동사원형

She doesn't drink coffee. (not: doesn't drinks)
He doesn't like his job. (not: doesn't likes)
I don't drink tea. (not: don't drinks)

📐 Grammar Point — 단순 현재 부정문 공식

주어부정 조동사동사예문

I / we / you / they	don't	동사원형	I don't like football.
he / she / it	doesn't	동사원형	He doesn't like football.

✅ I don't drink coffee, but I drink tea.
✅ Sue drinks tea, but she doesn't drink coffee.
✅ We don't watch TV very often.
❌ She doesn't drinks coffee. (WRONG — doesn't 뒤는 반드시 동사원형)

"The verb rests. It goes back to its base form."

기억하기 쉽습니다.

---

👩‍🏫 Ms. Williams says:
"Don't/doesn't always comes before the BASE FORM of the verb."
don't/doesn't는 항상 동사 원형 앞에 옵니다.

don't/doesn't + base form (동사원형)

don't like / doesn't speak / don't do / doesn't have

❌ doesn't speaks (WRONG)
❌ doesn't has (WRONG)
❌ doesn't doing (WRONG)

📐 Grammar Point — base form 규칙 (Base Form Rule)
doesn't가 부정을 표현하므로 동사는 원형으로 돌아갑니다.
