Conjugation of verbs in English may be confusing at times, but there are some basic rules and it is useful to identify them as early as possible in the learning process. You may ask your teacher to either explain 'When' we use 'do' or 'does' - or perhaps a simpler way is just to say:
"Is there a rule for using do and does?" In a specific sentence, you could enquire:
"Why did we use 'do' and not 'does'?"
英語の動詞の活用はややこしく感じることがあるかもしれませんが、基本的なルールがあり、学習過程においてなるべく早い時期に動詞の活用を確認することは有益です。
先生にいつ 'do' 又は 'does'を使うのかを説明してもらうように頼むか、おそらくもっとシンプルに以下のように言うことができます。
