--questions--

--text--

Does Tom want to hear Sophie play the guitar?

--answers--

No, he doesn't want to.

--feedback--

Listen again and pay attention to see if Tom is really using a negative sentence.


Yes, he wants to.


No, he don't want to.

--feedback--

Don't is not correct with he; it should be doesn't.


Yes, he wanted to.

--feedback--

Wanted is past tense, but Tom is talking about the present.
