In simple present there are some changes in the verb (also in the auxiliary DO) that occur when we use the third person in the subject.

* 1st PERSON in singular= I / in plural= We *2nd PERSON in singular and plural= you

I visit New Orleans every year. Notice that the verb used is in bare infinitive.

>> *3rd PERSON in singular= He-She-It << / in plural= They

He visits New Orleans every year. On the other hand this sentence has a little modification in the bare infinitive.

When the third person in singular is used (<<<ONLY), we must modify the verb in the sentence in affirmative form and in the interrogative and negative forms, we will modify the auxiliary verb Do into DOES.

He visits New Orleans every year > AFFIRMATIVE FORM.

He does not visit New Orleans every year. > NEGATIVE FORM.

Does he visit New Orleans every year. > INTERROGATIVE FORM.
