After he, she and it, add -s or -es. For a negative, use don't or doesn't, and for a question, start with do or does. When you finish, read the short explanation for each answer, especially for the ones you missed.

Common mistakes this set targets
- Missing -s with she. My dad drive to work every day. → My dad drives to work every day.Add -s to drive when the subject is my dad, which means he.
- Wrong auxiliary in a negative. She don't eat meat. → She doesn't eat meat.She needs doesn't, and eat has no ending.
- Do for he in a question. Do he have a bike? → Does he have a bike?Start a question about he, she or it with does.
- Does after I. I does my homework after school. → I do my homework after school.With I, the verb do stays in the base form.
- Third-person ending after doesn't. She doesn't eats meat. → She doesn't eat meat.Doesn't already shows the third person, so eat stays plain.
Frequently asked questions
Why does "do" appear with "I" in the homework sentence?
Do is also a normal verb that means to complete a task. With I, it stays as do. Here it is the main verb, not an auxiliary.
What is the difference between do and does in a question?
Use does with he, she, it and one person or thing. Use do with I, you, we, they and more than one person or thing.
Why does the museum sentence use the present simple?
An opening time is a regular fact about the museum. The present simple is the normal tense for times that stay the same.
Do I write the full word or the short form in a negative?
You can write either. Both "don't" and "do not" are accepted in this quiz, so choose the one you prefer.
