About using s after a word.

Hi all,

some one please clear my doubt,

i know third person singular should be accompanied with 's'. but in the below examples i found a difference.

1.she doesn't speak well--why 's' is missing with speak, when the sentence she does speaks well is followed with 's' after speak.

2. the monkey resembles his dad,,, then why in the question whom does the monkey remeble? why s is missing at the back of resemble..

3.also !!! does this bus goes to station? / is this goes to staion? whats the difference between this two question if any.

4.when will the bus start from here? or when will the bus starts from here?

thanks in advance friends...

u2candot she doesn't speak well The s is sometimes transferred to another word. You can only have one s ending per clause. See She doe s n't speak well.

Where does all these letters come from?

The answer you received was correct. The sentence above is wrong.

It should be Where do all these letters come from? The agreement is between do and letters. all these letters is a unit, and it is plural.
