request from engvid.com someone wrote in or typed in and wanted a lesson on the
1
11430
9530
00:20
very basic verb of do
2
20960
3030
00:24
now we really use this verb a lot in English it's called an auxiliary verb
3
24500
5101
00:29
sometimes we need to put it in where you think it doesn't go
4
29610
5490
00:35
I'm just going to teach you the basic positive and negative of this verb
5
35100
6869
00:41
so the reason why this is so confusing is we have to change it
6
41969
4651
00:46
depending on the subject, so if you're talking about yourself you're going to
7
46620
8160
00:54
say i do we usually say this in a marriage
8
54780
3899
00:58
do you I do whoo hoo if we have the word
9
58679
5581
01:04
you and I both use do if we have he or she we must use does so I do you do
10
64260
16350
01:21
he or she does these are the only ones that change if we want to talk about a
11
81610
6540
01:28
group of people, we can see they. They do, and if you're talking about yourself and
12
88150
10860
01:39
another person
13
99010
1260
01:40
we're going to say we do so you only really have to be worried about when we
14
100270
7170
01:47
he or she don't worry about it
15
107440
4320
01:51
he or she does all of the other subjects do now the negative is also different
16
111760
9359
02:01
with do and does when we use the negative with I, you,
17
121119
9090
02:10
they, and we.
18
130209
3091
02:15
We say don't
19
135300
1400
02:16
don't is actually a contraction of do not but in normal everyday speaking
20
136700
6509
02:23
English
21
143209
871
02:24
it's very very same "do not" we usually say don't
22
144080
6659
02:30
so if we use I you
23
150739
3030
02:34
they and we going to say don't I don't have a cat
24
154430
5910
02:40
you don't like me
25
160340
3390
02:43
we don't go there if it's the word does in the negative it's going to change too
26
163730
9720
02:53
doesn't
27
173450
6240
02:59
so for example he doesn't like cats
28
179690
3960
03:03
she doesn't like him
29
183650
3270
03:06
so we never change the subject in the negative
30
186920
8220
03:15
it's always the same he or she does he or she doesn't
31
195140
5280
03:20
when we don't we use I you
32
200960
3570
03:25
they and we. The last thing about this lovely verb is the past the past
33
205460
10320
03:36
thank goodness will stay the same
34
216470
3420
03:39
ok does not change so we can use
35
219890
3810
03:44
I he/she they and we did the negative of this is it
36
224210
14010
04:07
peace are present this is pass
37
247440
4200
04:13

38
253110
10140
