placeholders.

IS A PERSON OR THING THAT OCCUPIES THE POSITION OF ANOTHER PERSION OR THING.

EXAMPLE:

She doesn´t think i like her, but i do.

If you are referring to a third person pronoun like for example SHE- HE -IT.

You should use the word "DOES"

But if you are referring to the rest; ARE-YOU-WE-THEY.

We use the word "DO"

Example:

He thinks she doesn´t exercise, but she does.

Did. (Use in the past)

She asked me to buy it, so i bought it.
