-Before you learned to ask questions using `do,` you can also use the auxiliary verb to in negative sentences. In negative sentences you combine the auxiliary verb `do` (I, you, we, they) or `does` (he, she it) with the word `not` and place it right before the main verb:
+Before you learned to ask questions using `do`, you can also use it to create negative sentences by combining `do` (for `I`, `you`, `we`, `they`) or `does` (for `he`, `she`, `it`) with the word `not` and placing it right before the main verb:

-`I do not work everyday` - (Subject + do + not + main verb)

-`It does not function` - (Subject + does + not + main verb)

+Often, to be more practical people abbreviate `do not` to `don't` and `does not` to `doesn’t`.

Remember, you use `don't` with I, you, we, and they. When you talk about he, she, or it, you will use `doesn't,` but more on that later. Right now, let's focus on using `don't.`
