pleasehelp  +  941705 Wed, 14 Oct 09 09:44 AM He doesn't have any left.  But shouldn't it be has instead of have since the sentence is singular?  I know it sounds very wrong with has but please explain why is it have. pleasehelp Joined on Sun, Sep 20 2009 Regular Member 614 Tenses, Sentences

	Ivanhr  +  941729 Wed, 14 Oct 09 10:09 AM  You really should review how to use verbs correctly. I don't have You don't have He/she doesn't have (but he/she has). Note that with he/she (third person singular) in negative sentences don't is changed to doesn't so have (and any other verb) is left unchanged.

	dimsumexpress  +  941731 Wed, 14 Oct 09 10:13 AM Pleasehelp, I replied your other posts regarding the use of modals. Again, Whenever you see the following modals /helping verbs used, even in their negative form, you will find the adjacent verb remain in its basic form.  i.e. He must understand the consequences. Does / do/ did/ should/ shall/ may/ might/ will/ would/ can /could /must etc.. This is the hard rule.  So for your question: But shouldn't it be has instead of have since the sentence is singular? The answer is "no" because "doesn't" already satisfied the 3rd person singular requirement. dimsumexpress Joined on Mon, Oct 12 2009 Full Member 273 Verbs, Tenses, Negatives, Modals, Helping Verbs, Sentences, Negations
