<!-- (Audio) Sophie: He's got long dark hair and does not wear glasses. -->

--description--

When using the third person singular (he, she, or it) in the Simple Present tense, you normally add an -s to the end of a verb. For example, he wears glasses. However, when using the negative form, the -s goes to the auxiliary verb do and gets an extra e, forming does, combined with not and the verb in the regular form. Example: he does not wear glasses.

One typical characteristic used to describe a person is to mention that they normally have or don't have their glasses on.

Listen to Sophie's description of Tom and fill in the blanks.
