O presente simples na forma negativa
Lembrete: para verbos regulares, use o infinitivo sem to para I/you/we/they (eu/você/nós/eles). Para he/she/it (ele/ela), adicione um s ao final do verbo.
Você fala com seus pais.
Anna viaja para Belgrado.
Para deixar verbos regulares na forma negativa, basta adicionar do/does (forma plena) + not ou don't/doesn't (forma contraída, na fala e em contextos informais) antes do verbo. Não adicione s ao final do verbo na forma he/she/it.
To talk (forma contraída)
I don't talk
You don't talk
He/She/It doesn't talk
We don't talk
You don't talk
They don't talk
To like (forma plena)
I do not like
You do not like
He/She/It does not like
We do not like
You do not like
They do not like
Caroline gosta de carne → Ela não gosta de carne.

Notas:
- A forma contraída é mais usada do que a forma completa.
I do not like tennis (menos comum) → I don't like tennis. (mais comum) (Eu não gosto de tênis).
- O verbo to have (ter) também pode ser conjugado com do/does not (do not = don't / does not = doesn't).

We watch TV series → We don't watch TV series. After a subject like we, the negative short form of the present simple tense is don't + main verb without to (to watch). Example: we don't take pictures.

He makes a choice → He does not make a choice. After subjects like he/she/it, add does + not + main verb without s at the end (makes) to create the negative form. Examples: she does not care; it does not walk.
