Explanation:
We need to choose between
don’t and
doesn’t for each sentence. Here's how to decide:
- Use
don’t with:
- I, you, we, they
- plural nouns (e.g., cows, Ann and I, my sister and I)
- Use
doesn’t with:
- he, she, it
- singular nouns (e.g., my sister, the dog, my mum, my cat, this man, her friend)
Now let’s go sentence by sentence:
1.
I ___ like chicken.
→ Subject = *I* → use
don’t
2.
My sister ___ eat pasta.
→ *My sister* = third person singular (she) →
doesn’t
3.
You ___ buy apples.
→ *You* →
don’t
4.
The dog ___ bark.
→ *The dog* = third person singular (it) →
doesn’t
5.
My mum ___ read comics.
→ *My mum* = she →
doesn’t
6.
Ann and I ___ go to school.
→ *Ann and I* = we (plural) →
don’t
7.
Cows ___ live in the sea.
→ *Cows* = plural →
don’t
8.
They ___ play football.
→ *They* →
don’t
9.
My cat ___ chase mice.
→ *My cat* = it →
doesn’t
10.
Her friend ___ speak English.
→ *Her friend* = he/she →
doesn’t
11.
This man ___ smoke.
→ *This man* = he →
doesn’t
12.
It ___ run very fast.
→ *It* →
doesn’t
Let me double-check each:
1. I don’t ✔
2. My sister doesn’t ✔
3. You don’t ✔
4. The dog doesn’t ✔
5. My mum doesn’t ✔
