Remember, in the present simple tense, we use "do" or "does" for questions and negatives when the subject is a pronoun (I, you, we, they) and "does" for singular third-person subjects (he, she, it). And we use the base form of the verb for both positive and negative sentences.

Examples:
  • I play soccer.
  • She speaks Spanish.
  • We live in New York.

For negative sentences in the present simple, we use the auxiliary verb "do" followed by the base form of the verb and "not":

Examples:
  • I do not play soccer.
  • She does not speak Spanish.
  • We do not live in New York.

For interrogative sentences in the present simple, we use the auxiliary verb "do" followed by the subject and the base form of the verb:

Examples:

  • Do you play soccer?
  • Does she speak Spanish?
  • Do we live in New York?
