More Information

The words 'don't' and 'doesn't' are contractions. 'Don't' is the contraction of 'do not', while 'doesn't' is the contraction of 'does not'. We use 'doesn't' with third-person singular pronouns such as he, she, and it and singular nouns. We use 'don't' with first-person singular 'I', second-person singular and plural 'you', and first, second, and third-person plural pronouns such as we, you, and they.

Tips

A common mistake is to confuse when to use "don't" versus "doesn't." Remember that "doesn't" is used for singular third-person pronouns (he, she, it) and singular nouns, while "don't" is used for all other pronouns (I, you, we, they) and plural nouns.
