Do or Does?

"Do" is used to form imperative sentences or commands.

An imperative sentence is a sentence that is used to give the reader instructions.

"Does" is used for singular subjects like he, she, it etc.

Example sentences

1. Do your homework.

2. You have to do this task in a short amount of time.

3. My friend does stand up comedy.

4. What does he do on his off days?

Some or Any?

As a general rule we use 'some' for affirmative sentences and we use 'any' for questions or negative sentences.

Usually both can be used for countable plural or uncountable nouns.

Example sentences

1. I have got some milk.

2. We don't have any money.

3. He will bring some friends to the party next week.

4. There isn't any butter.

Many or More?

The words “more” and “many” do appear to be similar in meaning. Both are adjectives, and one is sometimes an adverb. Here is the difference: “Many” is used when something can be counted and "More" is used when something can't be counted.

When do we use "Do" in a sentence?
