현재 시제: 부정문 (A1)

I, you, we, they에는 don't + 동사원형을 써요.

부정문: don't

• I don't like coffee.
• You don't work here.
• They don't speak French.
• Not "I no like coffee." — say "I don't like coffee.". 부정할 때는 단순히 'no'만 쓰지 않고, 동사 앞에 don't를 써요.
• 해 보세요: I ___ coffee. (don't like / doesn't like / no like) 정답: don't like — I 뒤에 오는 부정형은 don't예요 (doesn't는 he/she/it에만 써요). 따라서 I don't like coffee가 맞아요.

부정문: doesn't

he, she, it에는 doesn't + 동사원형을 써요 (-s가 doesn't로 이동해요).

• He doesn't work here.
• She doesn't like coffee.
• Not "She doesn't likes coffee." — say "She doesn't like coffee.". doesn't에 이미 -s가 들어 있으므로 본동사는 원래 형태로 돌아가요.
• 해 보세요: She ___ French. (doesn't speak / doesn't speaks / don't speak) 정답: doesn't speak — doesn't에 이미 -s가 붙어 있으므로 동사는 원형을 써요: doesn't speak ('speaks'가 아니에요).
