Best Answer

The simplest structure is Subject + Verb. If there is an object, it follows:

John eats.

John eats breakfast.

John eats breakfast every day.

John eats breakfast quickly.

To make a negative sentence, you need to add the helping verb "does" (which of course follows the subject).

John does not eat.

John does not eat breakfast. etc.

Certain adverbs, esp adverbs of frequency, can come between the subj and verb:

John always eats breakfast with his family.

John never eats breakfast.

John sometimes does not eat breakfast.
