What to Focus On

  • A negative sentence shows that something is not true.
  • Words like 'not', 'no', 'don't', 'cannot' are used to make a sentence negative.
  • Negative sentences are the opposite of positive sentences.
  • Use 'not' after 'am', 'is', 'are', 'was', 'were'.
  • Short forms: isn't, aren't, wasn't, weren't.
  • Use 'no' before the object to make 'have/has/had' sentences negative.
  • This is the same as saying 'do not have', 'does not have'.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

We can always add 'not' at the end of a sentence to make it negative.

We can use 'no' the same way as 'not' in all sentences.

When the verb is 'has' or 'had', we must use 'not' to make it negative.

Memory Tips

Negative sentences contain 'not' or 'no'.

Use 'not' after 'is, am, are, was, were'.

With 'have, has, had', use 'no' instead of 'not'.

For multi-word verbs, put 'not' after the first word.
