In this activity, we’ll focus on constructing negative sentences using the verb “be” in the present simple tense. This tense helps us express what is not the case or what is absent.
You’ll practice forming negative statements by simply adding ‘not’. “am not,” “is not” (or “isn’t”), and “are not” (or “aren’t”). Here are some examples.
They are not children.
I am not German.
You are not on the phone.
He is not late.
She is not thirsty.
It is not warm.
We are not at home.
Understanding these negative forms is crucial for clearly stating what something or someone is not.
