Thanks for your help!

You use "don't" when the subject is not third person singular; but you use "doesn't" when the subject is third person singular. You place them before the verb:

I don't go
You don't go
We don't go
They don't go

But
He doesn't go
She doesn't go
It doesn't go
My mother doesn't go ....
