The verb 'to be' is a special one. 
If the first verb in the sentence is am, is, or are, you switch it with the subject.

She is very beautiful.  becomes  Is she very beautiful?

'Is' switched places with the subject. In these cases, you don't use 'do' or 'doesn't'.

The Present Simple
Negations

Now you know how to make a normal present simple sentence and questions in the present simple.

Now we are going to look at negations.


Slide 26 - Diapositive

The Present Simple
Negations

Negations tell you that something is not happening. 
You can see the word not in negations, but almost always as a short form n't, as in don't or doesn't.

An example of a negation is:

                             She doesn't see very well. 


Slide 27 - Diapositive

The Present Simple
Negations

So you make a negation by adding don't or doesn't to the sentence. Think about the SHIT Rule!
For example
                                        I like cookies. 

Becomes:
                                       I don't like cookies
