Which of the following is the correct negative form of 'They were ready'?
What is the negative form of 'He has some money'?
Sample Questions
Which word fills the blank correctly? 'She had ___ beautiful dress.'
Show answer
no
Step 1: The verb in the sentence is 'had', which is the past tense of 'have'. Step 2: The rule for have/has/had is: use 'no' after the verb to make it negative. Step 3: So the sentence becomes 'She had no beautiful dress.' Step 4: 'not a' is not the standard pattern taught for had/have/has sentences. Step 5: 'don't' is only used for command sentences. 'isn't' is wrong because it changes the verb to 'is'.
What is the negative form of 'She is skipping'?
Show answer
She is not skipping.
Step 1: 'She is skipping' has a verb made of two words: 'is' + 'skipping'. Step 2: The rule says: when the verb has two or more words, put 'not' after the FIRST word. Step 3: The first word is 'is', so 'not' comes after 'is': 'She is not skipping.' Step 4: 'She is no skipping' is wrong — 'no' is used only with have/has/had. Step 5: 'She not is skipping' is wrong because 'not' must come AFTER the first verb word.
Which is the correct negative form of 'Neelu can run fast'?
Show answer
Neelu cannot run fast.
Step 1: 'Neelu can run fast' has the verb 'can run', which is made of two words: 'can' + 'run'. Step 2: Rule: When the verb has two or more words, put 'not' after the first word. Step 3: The first word is 'can', so 'not' goes after 'can': 'Neelu cannot run fast.' Step 4: Note: 'can' + 'not' is written together as 'cannot'. Step 5: 'Neelu can run not fast' is wrong because 'not' must follow the first verb word, not the second.
What is the negative form of 'He will leave today'?
Show answer
He will not leave today.
Step 1: 'He will leave today' has a verb made of two words: 'will' + 'leave'. Step 2: Rule: When the verb has two or more words, place 'not' after the FIRST word. Step 3: The first word is 'will', so 'not' comes after it: 'He will not leave today.' Step 4: 'He will leave not today' is wrong because 'not' cannot go at the end of the sentence. Step 5: 'Don't he leave today' is incorrect because 'don't' is only used for command sentences.
