Grammar
Use of Do
While I'm studying English, I have a question.
I have learned this sentence,
"I do not understand how he can go on lying like that and not feel guilty about it."
I have thought this sentence wrong and I think this one right , "I do not understand how he can go on lying like that and <do> not feel guilty about it."
Why is the first sentence right?
Please tell me.
