Previously, 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. - It follows this structure: subject + do + not + main verb.
It does not function. - It follows this structure: subject + does + not + main verb.
People often abbreviate do not as don't and does not as doesn't to be more practical.
Just like with questions, when you use don't, the main verb that comes after it will always be in its base form, no matter who you're talking about.
