Present simple negatives

Present simple negatives Look at these sentences: I like tennis but I don't like football. (don't = do not) I don't live in London now. I don't play the piano but I play the guitar. They don't work at the weekend. John doesn't live in Manchester. (doesn't = does not) Angela doesn't drive to work. She goes by bus. We use  do  and  does  to make negatives with the present simple. We use  doesn't  for the third person singular ( she / he / it ) and  don't  for the others.
