I do, you do    I do the housework and you do the homework.

he/she/it does  The boy (he) does his homework.  The girl does her homework.  The computer(it) does not work.  It does not work.

we/they do    We do a lot of homework for this class.  They don't do a lot of homework for their class.

First,when the subject is plural,you have to use "do".

etc: 1.We do homework.2.They do something wrong.

Second,when the subject is singular,there are two situations.1,you have to use "do" after "I" and "You";2,you have to use "does" after other singular subject such as "he","she","it" and so on.

etc:1.I do not like apple.2.She does not like singing.3.It does not fit my feet.
