Looking at this worksheet, I need to fill in the blanks with the correct forms of "to be" (is/are) and their negative forms (isn't/aren't).
Let me work through each sentence one by one:
1. "She is a nurse. She _______ a doctor."
- The first part says she IS a nurse, so she is NOT a doctor
- Answer: isn't
2. "She isn't a nurse. She _______ a vet."
- The first part says she isn't a nurse, so she IS a vet
- Answer: is
3. "They're police officers. They _______ pilots."
- The first part says they ARE police officers, so they are NOT pilots
- Answer: aren't
4. "He isn't a teacher. He _______ a firefighter."
- The first part says he isn't a teacher, so he IS a firefighter
- Answer: is
5. "He _______ a dentist. He _______ a vet."
- Looking at the picture, he's treating a child's teeth, so he IS a dentist
- Therefore, he is NOT a vet
- Answers: is, isn't
6. "She _______ a nurse. She _______ a teacher."
- Looking at the picture, she's standing by a blackboard with books, so she IS a teacher
- Therefore, she is NOT a nurse
- Answers: isn't, is
7. "They _______ pilots. They _______ police officers."
- Looking at the picture, they're wearing pilot uniforms, so they ARE pilots
- Therefore, they are NOT police officers
- Answers: are, aren't
Final Answer:
1. isn't
2. is
3. aren't
4. is
5. is, isn't
6. isn't, is
7. are, aren't
