what the difference between DOES and DO, WAS and WERE? I know it. So why Beyonce sings "If I were a boy", and Keri Hilson's song "The way I are", why not "if i was a boy" and "the way i am"???

- do: I / you / we / they does: he / she / it I do shopping every week. He does shopping every week. = The simple present tense (Habits) - was: I / he / she / it were: you / we / they He was only 10 years old when his father died. I was angry because they were late. = past events. The past of 'be' (am/is/are) is 'was' / 'were'

Depending on the subject of the sentence, you would use a different one. First person: was, do (ie. I was still sleeping when you called. I do have your book.) Second person: were, do (ie. You were right in this case. You do have a good sense of direction) Third person singular: was, does (ie. My cat was sick from eating so much food. It does that from time to time.) Third person plural: were, do (ie. Those fire jugglers were amazing. They do jobs at small birthday parties, too.)

DO: this is a verb used for the first person singular and plural E.g: I DO, WE DO and second person singular and plural, e.g YOU DO. it is also used for the third person plural e.g THEY DO. DOES: in this case, it used for the third person singular e.g. HE DOES, SHE DOES. EXAMPLES I DO MY HOUSE KEEPING ON SATURDAYS WE DO OUR WORK ESSENTIALS TOGETHER THEY COULD DO QUARRYING THIS MONTH HE DOES HIS HOME WORK LATE AT NIGHT SABRINA DOES HER LAUNDRY ON FRIDAYS
