The Correct Sentence
One day, there was a student. His name was Jimmy. He was studying in the classroom. The teacher asked students to write but Jimmy did not do it.
The teacher approached Jimmy. He wanted to know why Jimmy did not write any word on his book. So the teacher asked: “Jimmy, why aren’t you writing?”
Simply Jimmy replied: “I don’t has a pencil.” Responding to Jimmy's answer, the teacher said: “Jimmy, that’s not a correct sentence. Then he continued explaining. The correct way is: I don’t have a pencil; he doesn’t have a pencil; we don’t have a pencil.”
Hearing the teacher's explanation, Jimmy asked: “Who stole all the pencils then?”
