INTERROGATIVE AND NEGATIVE FORMS.
A verb may be conjugated +interrogatively+ in the indicative and potential
modes by placing the subject after the first auxiliary; as, _Does he sing?_
A verb may be conjugated +negatively+ by placing _not_ after the first
auxiliary; as, He _does not sing_. _Not_ is placed before the infinitive
and the participles; as, _not to sing, not singing_.
