==================================================================================

Explanation: In the present simple tense, when the subject is in the third person singular (he, she,
it), we use "does" with the base form of the verb. For other subjects (I, you, we, they), we use "do"
with the base form of the verb.

Structure:

 For third person singular (He, She, It): [Subject] + [Does] + [Base Form of the Verb]

 For other subjects (I, You, We, They): [Subject] + [Do] + [Base Form of the Verb]

Example:

 She does eat breakfast at 8 AM.

 We do not like to swim in cold water.
