Choose the correct form of the given erroneous sentence.
He do not likes coffee but he drinks tea every morning.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) He does not like coffee but he drinks tea every morning.
Concept (Negative of the Simple Present: Does Not + V1)
Third person (अन्य पुरुष) singular subject 'He' के साथ negative में 'does not' आता है। 'Does' के बाद main verb सदैव मूल रूप (V1) में रहता है, इसलिए 'likes' गलत और 'like' सही है।
दूसरा भाग 'he drinks tea every morning' शुद्ध है।
शुद्ध वाक्य: He does not like coffee but he drinks tea every morning.
Exam trap: 'does not' के साथ 'likes' रखना; 'does' के बाद V1 आता है।
Concept (Negative of the Simple Present: Does Not + V1)
With the third person singular subject 'He', the negative uses 'does not'. After 'does', the main verb always stays in the base form (V1), so 'likes' is wrong and 'like' is right.
The second part, 'he drinks tea every morning', is correct.
Correct sentence: He does not like coffee but he drinks tea every morning.
Exam trap: keeping 'likes' with 'does not'; after 'does' the verb is V1.
