They do, and if you're talking about yourself and another person we're going to say we do so you only really have to be worried about when we he or she don't worry about it he or she does all of the other subjects do now the negative is also different with do and does when we use the negative with I, you, they, and we. We say don't don't is actually a contraction of do not but in normal everyday speaking English it's very very same "do not" we usually say don't so if we use I you they and we going to say don't I don't have a cat you don't like me we don't go there if it's the word does in the negative it's going to change too doesn't so for example he doesn't like cats she doesn't like him so we never change the subject in the negative it's always the same he or she does he or she doesn't when we don't we use I you they and we. The last thing about this lovely verb is the past the past thank goodness will stay the same ok does not change so we can use I he/she they and we did the negative of this is it peace are present this is pass so these do not change this is easier I he she they we did I didn't like him he didn't like the cat all right i hope that clears it up for you and please if you have any suggestions anything you would like to be taught please go to engvid.com and write a comment and we'll be happy to teach you bye-bye
