Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
'People' is always plural in English, so it must use 'don't' instead of 'doesn't'.
- Use 'don't' for plural subjects like 'people' (e.g., People don't like waiting).
- Use 'doesn't' for singular subjects like 'person' (e.g., That person doesn't like waiting).
- Never say 'people doesn't'—it is the most common mistake for English learners.
مرور کلی
don't و doesn't فراتر از یک تغییر ساده در ظاهر کلمه است؛ این تفاوت مستقیماً به مفهوم «توافق فاعل و فعل» (Subject-Verb Agreement) در انگلیسی برمیگردد. در زبان فارسی، ما برای منفی کردن فعل از پیشوند «نـ» استفاده میکنیم که برای تمام اشخاص (من، تو، او، ما، شما، آنها) یکسان است.don't و doesn't به شما کمک میکند تا در محیطهای آکادمیک، کاری و حتی گفتگوهای روزمره در کافههای تهران یا در حین مکالمه با همکاران خارجیتان، دقیقتر و حرفهایتر صحبت کنید. تسلط بر این مبحث، اولین قدم برای خروج از سطح مبتدی و ورود به سطح متوسط است.do است. در حالت منفی، do با not ترکیب میشود.he, she, it و هر اسم مفردی مثل my friend یا the car) «حریص» است! این فاعلها همیشه یک نشانه اضافه طلب میکنند. در جملات مثبت، این نشانه به صورت s یا es به انتهای فعل اصلی میچسبد (مثلاً He eats).es از فعل اصلی گرفته شده و به فعل کمکی do اضافه میشود. در نتیجه، do تبدیل به does میشود. وقتی does با not ترکیب میشود، ما doesn't را داریم.I, you, we, they)، هیچ تغییری در فعل اصلی رخ نمیدهد و همان فعل کمکی do به کار میرود که با not تبدیل به don't میشود.doesn't استفاده میکنید، چون «بارِ» سومشخص بودن (همان es) روی دوش doesn't است، فعل اصلی باید به حالت پایه (Base Form) برگردد. یعنی دیگر نباید به فعل اصلی s اضافه کنید. این دقیقاً همان جایی است که فارسیزبانان دچار لغزش میشوند.He doesn't eats؛ چون does قبلاً آن s را جذب کرده است. این ساختار در فارسی وجود ندارد و ما در فارسی چنین جابهجاییِ گرامری نداریم، بنابراین باید با تمرین زیاد آن را در ذهن جایگزین کنیم.don't یا doesn't است. بعد از هر دو، فعل اصلی بدون هیچ تغییر (بدون s، بدون ing، بدون ed) میآید.don't و doesn't در زندگی روزمره برای موارد زیر استفاده میکنید:- 1بیان عادات و روتینها: مثلاً اگر در یک دورهمی دوستانه از شما بپرسند که آیا قهوه میخورید، میگویید:
I don't drink coffee in the evening(من عصرها قهوه نمیخورم). یا درباره دوستتان میگویید:She doesn't wake up early(او زود بیدار نمیشود).
- 1بیان حقایق و وضعیتهای ثابت: مثلاً در محیط کار درباره یک پروژه:
This report doesn't include the budget(این گزارش شامل بودجه نیست). یا درباره یک ویژگی شخصی:He doesn't speak English well(او انگلیسی را خوب صحبت نمیکند).
- 1بیان نظرات و علایق: مثلاً در خرید آنلاین:
I don't like this color(من این رنگ را دوست ندارم) یاMy brother doesn't want to go(برادرم نمیخواهد برود).
- 1استفاده از
don'tبرای سومشخص: فارسیزبانان چون در فارسی برای همه اشخاص «نمی» را به کار میبرند، عادت دارند برای همه چیز ازdon'tاستفاده کنند. مثلاً میگویند:He don't like it. این اشتباه است چونHeحتماًdoesn'tمیخواهد.
- 1دوبارهکاری در سومشخص: اضافه کردن
sبه فعل بعد ازdoesn't. مثلاًShe doesn't likes sports. این اشتباه به این دلیل رخ میدهد که زبانآموز فراموش میکند کهdoesدرdoesn'tقبلاً آن نشانهsرا جذب کرده است.
- 1فراموش کردن فعل کمکی: گاهی فارسیزبانان فعل کمکی را حذف میکنند و مستقیماً
notرا به فعل اصلی میچسبانند، مثلاًI not like it. در فارسی ما میگوییم «من دوست ندارم» و فعل «داشتن» یا «بودن» کمکی نداریم، اما در انگلیسی حضورdo/doesدر جملات منفی اجباری است.
don't/doesn't استفاده میکنیم اما در زمان حال استمراری، از not بعد از فعل to be استفاده میکنیم. اشتباه گرفتن این دو بسیار رایج است.- 1آیا میتوانم همیشه از
do notبه جایdon'tاستفاده کنم؟ بله، در محیطهای بسیار رسمی یا متون نوشتاری آکادمیک، بهتر است از شکل کامل استفاده کنید، اما در مکالمه روزمره،don'tبسیار طبیعیتر است.
- 1آیا برای اسامی غیرقابل شمارش هم از
doesn'tاستفاده میکنیم؟ بله، اسامی غیرقابل شمارش مثلwater,money,informationهمیشه باdoesn'tمیآیند (مثلاً:The water doesn't taste good).
- 1چرا بعد از
doesn'tفعل اصلیsنمیگیرد؟ چونdoesدر واقع همانdo + esاست. آنesنقش «نشانه سومشخص» را ایفا میکند و دیگر نیازی به تکرار آن روی فعل اصلی نیست.

Americans are very strict about 'people don't' but will use singular for other collectives ('The team doesn't').
In many dialects, 'people' is the universal plural, and 'don't' is the universal negative, sometimes even replacing 'doesn't' in non-standard speech.
The word 'people' comes from the Old French 'pueple' and Latin 'populus'.

سوالات متداول (8)
In English, 'people' is the plural of 'person'. Think of it like 'children' (plural of child). It refers to the individuals in the group, not the group as a single unit.
No. In standard English, 'people doesn't' is always grammatically incorrect. You might hear it in some very specific dialects, but you should never use it in exams or professional life.
Words ending in -one, -body, and -thing are always singular. Think of 'everyone' as 'every single one'.
Yes, but in very formal writing, you should use the full form 'people do not' instead of the contraction 'don't'.
The singular is 'person'. So, 'One person doesn't' but 'Two people don't'.
Yes! 'The police' is always plural in English. You must say 'The police don't know', not 'The police doesn't know'.
Yes, but only when referring to different ethnic or national groups (e.g., 'The peoples of Africa don't all speak the same language'). This is rare.
Use 'Do'. For example: 'Do people like this?' or 'Why don't people like this?'
