The Does Song - this is just for fun. It sang badly but that's just to make you feel good!
More seriously, a lot of people mispronounce this word.
Also does is a grammatical word, it helps English, sound well, English. It helps us form questions and the negative. For example;
What does she want to eat?
Does he like her?
She doesn't like seafood.
No, he doesn't like her in the way you mean, he just likes her as a friend.
Many learners simply don't use 'does', but if they did, their English would sound more natural.
Here's the script for the video.
Does – a
very common English word but one that learners struggle with. I’ve often heard ‘doos, do-es’.
One of the problems is that
people look at the word
