Step-by-step solution for: Negative sentences | NadinK
The task is to write negative sentences based on the given prompts. To form negative sentences, we typically use the auxiliary verb "do/does/did" or "am/is/are/was/were," depending on the tense and subject, followed by "not." Here are the solutions with explanations:
---
- Solution: Jack does not start school at 8 o'clock.
- Explanation: The subject "Jack" is a third-person singular, so we use "does not" (contraction of "does + not") to form the negative sentence.
---
- Solution: Lions do not eat vegetables.
- Explanation: The subject "Lions" is plural, so we use "do not" (contraction of "do + not") to form the negative sentence.
---
- Solution: Susan does not watch TV in the park.
- Explanation: The subject "Susan" is a third-person singular, so we use "does not" (contraction of "does + not") to form the negative sentence.
---
- Solution: My dog is not drinking lemonade now.
- Explanation: The word "now" indicates the present continuous tense. For this tense, we use "is not" (contraction of "is + not") with the -ing form of the verb "drink."
---
- Solution: Elephants are not pink.
- Explanation: The subject "Elephants" is plural, so we use "are not" (contraction of "are + not") to form the negative sentence.
---
- Solution: My parents do not read comics.
- Explanation: The subject "My parents" is plural, so we use "do not" (contraction of "do + not") to form the negative sentence.
---
- Solution: Richard does not have dinner at school.
- Explanation: The subject "Richard" is a third-person singular, so we use "does not" (contraction of "does + not") to form the negative sentence.
---
- Solution: The girls are not running in the forest now.
- Explanation: The word "now" indicates the present continuous tense. For this tense, we use "are not" (contraction of "are + not") with the -ing form of the verb "run."
---
- Solution: This mouse is not ugly.
- Explanation: The subject "This mouse" is singular, so we use "is not" (contraction of "is + not") to form the negative sentence.
---
- Solution: I am not a monkey!
- Explanation: The subject "I" is first-person singular, so we use "am not" (contraction of "am + not") to form the negative sentence.
