Default Re: read it !

Sorry, did you mean "to do"?

You make the verb "to do" match the person and tense. The main verb remains in what is called the "bare infinitive" -- that is, the "to X" form, without the "to" -- just the "X."

She swims often. Does she swim well? Yes, she does indeed swim very well.

He comes here often. Did he come her yesterday? I don't remember if he came here yesterday... oh wait, I remember - yes, he did come here yesterday!
