-s or -es ?

you need to add -es or change the ending a little.
In other words, only third person singular subjects (he, she and it) have doesn't — the rest have don't.

Form of the Simple Past
Verb To Be – ser, estar
Negative sentences:
Always use the auxiliary did (Simple Past of to do) for negations.
I played football.
I didn't play football.
He didn't play football.
Questions:
Use the auxiliary did (Simple Past of to do).
Did you play football?
I played football.
Did I play football.
Did he play football.
When the verb ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, you have to double the last consonant and then add "ed"
to make the Past Simple.
If you have a verb with more than one syllable, you only double the consonant if the last syllable is stressed.
In British English the final "l" is doubled, even if the last syllable is not stressed.
If the last letter is "x", you do not double it because an "x" is in fact two consonant "ks".
If the last letter is "c", you write "ck" instead of "cc".
Of course these rules only apply to regular verbs.
If the verb ends with an e that isn’t pronounced (as in bake or smile), then you need to drop this final -ebefore
adding -ed and -ing:
bake baked
smile smiled
If the verb ends with a vowel plus -l (as in travel or equal), then you need to double the l before adding -ed and
-ing in British English:
travel travelled
distil distilled
equal equalled
If the verb ends with a single vowel plus a consonant, and the stress is at the end of the word (e.g. refer), then you
need to double the final consonant before adding -ed and –ing:
admit admitted
commit committed
refer referred
If the verb ends with a vowel plus a consonant and the stress is not at the end of the word, you don’t need to
double the final consonant when adding -ed and -ing:
inherit inherited
target targeted
visit visited
If the verb has only one syllable and ends with a single vowel plus a consonant (e.g. stop), then you need to double
the final consonant before adding -ed and -ing:
stop stopped
tap tapped
sob sobbed
If the verb ends with two vowels plus a consonant, you should generally not double the final consonant:
treat treated
wheel wheeled
pour poured
If the verb ends in -c (e.g. panic), you need to add a -k before adding -ed and -ing, and also -er.
picnic picnicked
mimic mimicked
traffic trafficked
