Directions: Change the following sentence into a negative one:

- AThis boy no plays football.
- BThis boy do not plays football.
- CThis boy does not play football.
- DThis boy not plays football.
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The original sentence is in the Simple Present Tense with a singular subject ("This boy"). To transform a singular simple present active statement into its negative form, we use the auxiliary formulation "does not" + base form of the verb (bare infinitive).
Therefore, "plays" changes to "does not play", making option C correct.
Therefore, "plays" changes to "does not play", making option C correct.
