Hi msudan
You are right. The correct sentence is "He does not know anything" (or "He doesn't know anything"). _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

| Sir, Many persons used to say " He do not know anything" while speaking. I think when we speak, it will be ok. But, in grammar, it should be " He does not know anything" Am I right sir? |
Is it correct for using "persons" here? I thought "people" would be the one, isn't is? |

| Amy Madam, Very happy to receive your reply. Now I need your help in clear out the usage of guarantee and warranty. What is the exact difference between these two words. Could you please describe for me? |

| sunflower, "many people" would be more expected, but using "persons," although not as natural, is not incorrect. |
