Do बनाम Does: क्या अंतर है?
does लगाओ और बाकी सबके लिए do का इस्तेमाल करो।
Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
'People' is always plural in English, so it pairs with 'do', never 'does'.
- Use 'do' for 'people' because it acts like 'they' (e.g., People do care).
- Use 'does' for 'person' because it acts like 'he' or 'she' (e.g., That person does care).
- In questions, always start with 'Do people...?' (e.g., Do people like this?).
Overview
do और does का सही उपयोग सीखना एक बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण कदम है। खासकर B1 (Intermediate) लेवल के छात्रों के लिए, यह समझना बहुत ज़रूरी है कि ये दोनों शब्द कैसे काम करते हैं। हिंदी और English के वाक्य बनाने के तरीके (sentence structure) में बहुत बड़ा अंतर है। हिंदी में हम आमतौर पर Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) पैटर्न का पालन करते हैं (जैसे: «मैं [Subject] सेब [Object] खाता हूँ [Verb]»)। लेकिन English में यह Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) होता है (I eat an apple)।I not go या You go? नहीं कह सकते। यहीं पर do और does की भूमिका शुरू होती है। इन्हें Auxiliary Verbs (सहायक क्रियाएँ) कहा जाता है। इनका अपना कोई खास अर्थ नहीं होता (जैसे 'eat' का मतलब 'खाना' होता है), लेकिन ये वाक्य के व्याकरण (grammar) को सही आकार देने के लिए ज़रूरी हैं।Doesका प्रयोग: इसका इस्तेमाल केवल Third-Person Singular (अन्य पुरुष एकवचन) subjects के साथ होता है। यानीHe,She,Itया कोई भी एक नाम/वस्तु (जैसे:Rohan,the teacher,my company)।Doका प्रयोग: इसका इस्तेमाल बाकी सभी subjects के साथ होता है। यानीI,You,We,Theyऔर सभी बहुवचन (Plural) संज्ञाओं (जैसे:students,my friends) के साथ।
do और does को अक्सर 'Dummy Auxiliaries' कहा जाता है। 'Dummy' इसलिए क्योंकि जब वाक्य में कोई और सहायक क्रिया (जैसे is/am/are, has/have या can/will) नहीं होती, तब प्रश्न या नकारात्मक वाक्य बनाने के लिए हमें बाहर से एक «मददगार» शब्द लाना पड़ता है। हिंदी व्याकरण में ऐसा कोई 'dummy' शब्द नहीं होता, इसलिए हिंदी बोलने वालों को अक्सर यह अजीब लगता है।s या es लगता है।He works hard. (वह कड़ी मेहनत करता है।)does का इस्तेमाल करते हैं। यहाँ सबसे बड़ा नियम यह है कि जब वाक्य में does आ जाता है, तो Main Verb (मुख्य क्रिया) अपने मूल रूप (Base Form / V1) में वापस आ जाती है। उसका s या es हट जाता है। आप इसे ऐसे समझ सकते हैं कि does ने main verb का s/es चुरा लिया है।- प्रश्न (Question):
Does he work hard?(सही) - गलत (Incorrect):
Does he works hard?(यहाँdoesऔरworksदोनों में 's' लगाना एक बहुत बड़ी गलती है।)
- नकारात्मक (Negative):
He doesn't work hard.(सही) - गलत (Incorrect):
He doesn't works hard.
do का इस्तेमाल एक Main Verb (जिसका मतलब है 'करना') की तरह होता है।What do you do for a living? (आप जीविका के लिए क्या करते हैं?)do आया है।- 1पहला
do: यह Auxiliary Verb (सहायक क्रिया) है जो सिर्फ प्रश्न बनाने के लिए आया है। इसका कोई अर्थ नहीं है। - 2दूसरा
do: यह Main Verb (मुख्य क्रिया) है, जिसका अर्थ है «काम करना» या «करना»।
He doesn't do his homework. (वह अपना होमवर्क नहीं करता है।)doesn't (does not) सहायक क्रिया है और do मुख्य क्रिया है।do और does के साथ वाक्य बनाने का स्ट्रक्चर बहुत ही फिक्स (fixed) होता है। अगर आप इन फॉर्मूलों को याद कर लें, तो आपसे कभी गलती नहीं होगी।not को अकेले नहीं छोड़ सकते। हमें do not या does not का इस्तेमाल करना होता है। बोलचाल की English (Spoken English) में हम अक्सर इनके छोटे रूप (Contractions) don't और doesn't का इस्तेमाल करते हैं।do/does + not + Base Form of Verb (V1) + ObjectI | do not (don't) | know | I don't know the answer. | मुझे जवाब नहीं पता। |You | do not (don't) | understand | You don't understand. | तुम नहीं समझते। |He | does not (doesn't) | speak | He doesn't speak French. | वह फ्रेंच नहीं बोलता है। |She | does not (doesn't) | like | She doesn't like spicy food.| उसे मसालेदार खाना पसंद नहीं है। |It | does not (doesn't) | work | It doesn't work anymore. | यह अब काम नहीं करता है। |We | do not (don't) | have | We don't have time. | हमारे पास समय नहीं है। |They | do not (don't) | want | They don't want to come. | वे आना नहीं चाहते हैं। |Do या Does करता है, जिन्हें वाक्य के सबसे आगे रखा जाता है।Do/Does + Subject + Base Form of Verb (V1) + Object + ?Do | you | live | Do you live in Delhi? | क्या तुम दिल्ली में रहते हो? |Does | he | have | Does he have a car? | क्या उसके पास कार है? |Does | she | know | Does she know about this?| क्या वह इस बारे में जानती है? |Does | it | matter | Does it matter? | क्या इससे कोई फर्क पड़ता है? |Do | they | speak | Do they speak English? | क्या वे English बोलते हैं? |Does | your boss| agree | Does your boss agree? | क्या आपके बॉस सहमत हैं? |What (क्या), Where (कहाँ), When (कब), Why (क्यों), How (कैसे) जैसे शब्दों का इस्तेमाल करते हैं, तो ये शब्द वाक्य में सबसे पहले आते हैं। उनके ठीक बाद do या does आता है।do/does + Subject + Base Form of Verb (V1) + ?Where do you work?(आप कहाँ काम करते हैं?)What does she want?(वह क्या चाहती है?)Why do they complain so much?(वे इतनी शिकायत क्यों करते हैं?)
Who (कौन) या What (क्या) खुद वाक्य का Subject (कर्ता) होता है, तब हम do/does का इस्तेमाल नहीं करते हैं। तब हम सीधे Verb का इस्तेमाल करते हैं।Who calls you everyday?(तुम्हें रोज़ कौन कॉल करता है?) -> *यहाँ Who subject है।Who does call youगलत है।*What causes pollution?(प्रदूषण किस कारण से होता है?) -> *यहाँ What subject है।What does causeगलत है।*
do और does का उपयोग Simple Present Tense में होता है। यह Tense उन चीज़ों के बारे में बात करने के लिए नहीं है जो *अभी* हो रही हैं (उसके लिए Present Continuous का उपयोग होता है), बल्कि उन चीज़ों के लिए है जो एक आदत हैं, सामान्य सच हैं, या एक रूटीन का हिस्सा हैं।What time do you usually wake up?(आप आमतौर पर कितने बजे उठते हैं?)My father doesn't drink tea.(मेरे पिता चाय नहीं पीते हैं।)Do you go to the gym everyday?(क्या तुम रोज़ जिम जाते हो?)
Water doesn't freeze at 10 degrees.(पानी 10 डिग्री पर नहीं जमता है।)Does the sun set in the west?(क्या सूरज पश्चिम में डूबता है?)This auto doesn't go to Connaught Place.(यह ऑटो कनॉट प्लेस नहीं जाता है।)
I don't think this is a good idea.(मुझे नहीं लगता कि यह अच्छा विचार है।)Does she like Bollywood movies?(क्या उसे बॉलीवुड फिल्में पसंद हैं?)We don't agree with this decision.(हम इस फैसले से सहमत नहीं हैं।)
How much does this shirt cost?(इस शर्ट की कीमत कितनी है?)Where do I sign?(मैं कहाँ हस्ताक्षर करूँ?)Does this train stop at Kanpur?(क्या यह ट्रेन कानपुर में रुकती है?)
- गलत:
Does she knows the answer? - सही:
Does she know the answer? - क्यों होता है: हिंदी में हम सोचते हैं «क्या वह जानती है?»। हमें सिखाया गया है कि He/She के साथ verb में 's' लगता है। इसलिए छात्र
doesभी लगा देते हैं और verb में 's' (knows) भी छोड़ देते हैं। याद रखें:doesने 's' चुरा लिया है, इसलिए main verb हमेशा Base Form (V1) में रहेगा।
- गलत:
You like cricket?याWhere you live? - सही:
Do you like cricket?याWhere do you live? - क्यों होता है: हिंदी में हम सिर्फ आवाज़ का लहज़ा बदलकर प्रश्न बना लेते हैं («तुम क्रिकेट पसंद करते हो?»)। इसलिए छात्र English में भी सीधे शब्दों को रखकर प्रश्न पूछ लेते हैं। लेकिन English में प्रश्नवाचक स्ट्रक्चर के लिए
do/doesका होना अनिवार्य है (बोलचाल की बेहद अनौपचारिक भाषा को छोड़कर)।
- गलत:
I not know.याShe not come. - सही:
I do not (don't) know.याShe does not (doesn't) come. - क्यों होता है: हिंदी में हम कहते हैं «मैं नहीं जानता» (I + not + know)। छात्र इसे शब्द-दर-शब्द (word-for-word) translate कर देते हैं। English में main verb (जैसे know, come) सीधे
notको नहीं ले सकते। उन्हेंdo/doesकी मदद चाहिए होती है।
do/does और is/am/are के बीच होता है।are होता है और «है» का मतलब is होता है।Are you agree? (जो कि पूरी तरह गलत है)।do/does का प्रयोग होगा। is/am/are का प्रयोग तब होता है जब कोई काम *अभी* चल रहा हो (Present Continuous - रहा है/रही है) या जब हम किसी की पहचान/स्थिति बता रहे हों (बिना action verb के)।Are you play? | Do you play? | Action verb (play) है, इसलिए Do लगेगा। |Do you playing? | Are you playing? | काम अभी हो रहा है (-ing form), इसलिए Are लगेगा। |Do you happy? | Are you happy? | यहाँ कोई action verb नहीं है, happy विशेषण है, इसलिए Are लगेगा। |Are you agree? | Do you agree? | agree एक action verb है, इसलिए Do लगेगा। |do/does का इस्तेमाल कर सकते हैं?I do care about you! (मैं परवाह करता तो हूँ!)। यहाँ do वाक्य में भावना और ज़ोर डाल रहा है।I (मैं) तो एकवचन (Singular) है, फिर इसके साथ does क्यों नहीं लगता?I, We) और Second-person (You) हमेशा plural verb forms (जैसे do, have, are) लेते हैं (सिवाय I am और I was के)। does सिर्फ और सिर्फ Third-Person Singular (He, She, It) के लिए रिज़र्व है। इसे एक अपवाद के रूप में याद रखना ही सबसे अच्छा तरीका है।do लगेगा और कहाँ does?does) लेता है। जो subjects बहुवचन हैं या I/You हैं, वे अपने आप में मज़बूत माने जाते हैं, इसलिए वे बिना 's' वाला शब्द (do) लेते हैं।Conjugating 'Do' with People vs. Person

Smart Tips
Stop and think of the word 'They'. You would never say 'They does', right?
Check your relative clauses. If you write 'People who does...', change it to 'People who do...'
Draw a small '1' over everyone and a '2+' over people to remind you of the verb form.
Always start with 'Do people...'. It's a fixed phrase you can memorize.
उच्चारण

Only when referring to an ethnic group or nation (e.g., 'The Cherokee are a people'). In 99% of cases, it is plural.
Probably because your native language (like Spanish or French) treats the word for people as a singular noun.
The singular is 'person'. One person does, two people do.
Yes, but only if you are talking about multiple different ethnic groups (e.g., 'The peoples of Africa').
No! 'Everyone' is singular and takes 'does'. This is a very common point of confusion.
It is always 'people don't'.
No, 'people' is plural in all dialects of English.
Use the 'They' test: if you can say 'They do', you must say 'People do'.
