1. Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
- A. He don't like coffee.
- B. He don't like coffee.
- C. He don't like coffee.
- D. He don't like coffee.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
- "He doesn't like coffee": uses the correct third-person singular negative contraction "doesn't" with the correct verb form "like" for a singular subject "He".
- "He don't like coffee": This uses the incorrect contraction "don't" which is for plural subjects, or the incorrect verb form "do" which should be "does" with a singular subject.
- "He not likes coffee": This lacks the auxiliary verb "doesn't" and uses an incorrect word order.
- "He isn't like coffee": This implies a state of being rather than a dislike for something. "Isn't" is used for comparisons like "He isn't like his brother," where it describes a shared quality.
