喜樂美語
  1. 1does not 的縮寫（他／她／它「不…」；I/you/we/they 要用 don't）

    Doesn't is the short form of does not. You use it with he, she, it, or a name: "She doesn't like tea." The marks the missing letter o in not. This is the normal way to speak, and the normal way to write in messages, stories, and most school work. In very careful or very formal writing, people still write does not in full. Do not use doesn't with I, you, we, or they — that is don't. After doesn't, use the plain verb: "doesn't go," not "doesn't goes." Though actually, you will hear "he don't" in some spoken dialects; teachers and tests will still mark it wrong.

    doesn't 是 does not 的縮寫，撇號的位置代表省掉的 o。它用在 he、she、it 或人名後面，例句「She doesn't like tea.」就是例子。這是口語、訊息、故事和作業裡最常見的寫法，非常正式的寫作才會把 does not 完整寫出來。它不能跟 I、you、we、they 一起用，那要用 don't。後面接原形動詞，所以是「doesn't go」，不是「doesn't goes」，記成「doesn't ＋原形動詞」就對了。有些方言會說 he don't，但老師和考試還是會判錯。

From the word’s history

does + -n't.

由 does 加上 -n't 組成。

Wiktionary
