べんきょうする＝I study. べんきょうしない＝I don't study.

"shinai" is the negative form of "suru": http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/negativeverbs "benkyou" by itself is a noun. There are many words in Japanese that can be turned into verbs by adding (and conjugating) "suru", so "to study" is "benkyou suru" and "to not study" is "benkyou shinai".

勉強しない　I do not study 勉強しない？　let's study (usually colloquial, not formal) 勉強する　I study 勉強する？　Will you study?(usually colloquial, not formal) I mean, it depends on intonation.
