Para poner en forma negativa un verbo en Presente Simple necesitamos un verbo auxiliar y la partícula not. El verbo auxiliar (que ayuda al verbo principal) es do y sólo en la 3ª persona del singular (he, she, it) cambia a does. El verbo auxiliar do y not se contraen normalmente.
Como ves, al poner el verbo auxiliar does con la 3ª persona singular, el verbo principal (play) ya no necesita la -s de la forma afirmativa.
Example: I don't speak German. (Yo no hablo alemán)
She doesn't work in a bank. (Ella no trabaja en un banco.)
She doesn't work in a bank. (Ella no trabaja en un banco.)
