D5: DO, DON'T, DOES, DOESN'T

 12th May 2021

DOES, DOESN’T, DO dan DON’T ni kita gunakan untuk Present sentences. (ayat2 yang merujuk kepada masa kini/keadaan semasa)

1.A. Kita gunakan DOES kalau di depan ayat tu He, She, It dan Orang perseorangan, atau 1 benda atau konsep merujuk kepada apa yang kita buat hari2 atau hari ini

Cth:  She DOES her cleaning every morning.

1.B.   Kadang2 kita gunakan DOES dengan Kata kerja lain untuk menunjukkan penekanan/emphasis

Cth:  The maid DOES WASH the bed sheets.  

2.A. Kita gunakan DO kalau di depan ayat tu They, We, I, You dan ramai orang atau banyak benda/konsep merujuk kepada apa kita buat hari2 atau hari ini.

Cth:  I DO my work in the library. 

2.2.B. Kadang2 kita gunakan DO dengan Kata kerja lain untuk menunjukkan penekanan/emphasis

Cth:  We DO WRITE the essay ourselves. 

Kalau ayat tu negatif, ada perkataan NOT, kita gunakan formula yang sama tapi gunakan perkataan DOESN’T dan DON’T, dan Kata Kerja selepasnya dalam bentuk asal ROOT VERB.  

3. She DOESN’T like her new maid.   (bukan ‘doesn’t likes, )

4.We DON’T want to travel.  (bukan doesn’t wants..)

GRAMMAR POINTS:

- Why + don't / doesn't / didn't + subject (orang atau benda)

- Do has 2 meaning:

(1) does / do as auxiliary verb

(2) do = buat / laku

so we can use 'doesn't do' or 'don't do'

- for sentence with 'since', we use 'has been doing'

- cannot use 'And' at the beginning of sentence in formal writing.

- will be created = akan dicipta (pasif); will be over = akan tamat (bukan pasif)

Note: auxiliary verb = 

1. a verb used in forming the tenses, moods, and voices of other verbs. The primary auxiliary verbs in English are be, do, and have ; the modal auxiliaries are can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, and would.
