Suppose I am in a meeting now and I am a crew leader for a civil crew. My crew goes to the site at 6 am from the office, and they come to the room directly at 5 pm after finishing the job. They do not come to the office. In the meeting, which sentence should I use?
Our crew go to site at 6 am and they not come office after finishing the job
or
Our crew go to site at 6 o clock and they do not come Office after finishing the job
Our crew goes to the site at 6 o clock and they do not come to the office after finishing the job
This would be the correct sentence. "Our crew" functions as a singular noun, so it needs "goes" not "go". You need the auxiliary "do" to negate come. In modern English, for negating (and questions), you need either a modal verb or the dummy auxiliary verb "do" to make a grammatical sentence in all cases.
