open.books4languages.com › present-simple-negativeSummary. We use the present simple, in its negative form, to deny situations that regularly, repeatedly or always occur. When we use the present simple in its negative form, we start with the subject followed by do not and the verb in its base form. In the third person singular, we use does not. For example: — “ I don’t work on important projects. ” = The sentence is in the present simple negative, so we use do not followed by the base form of the verb to work ( do not work ).
