Hi, why when you say “It does make sense” the “make” is without “S” if we’re taking about a third person?

thanks

@Javier
because the “s” is on do = does, and 2 times a “s” istn’t.

You can say “It makes sense”.

From what I understand; when you use, does, you use the base form of the verb not the present simple.

 DOES                                      WITHOUT DOES

It does go faster. It goes faster.
It does eat a lot. It eats a lot.
It does get hot in here. It gets hot in here.
