Hi, everybody.
In this video, we’re going to talk about subjective pronouns,
‘be’ verbs,
and how to use them with the word ‘not’.
Okay. So, let’s look at the board to help us out.
Now the first sentence says, “I’m not a student”.
‘Not’ means it’s not true.
No.
So remember, “I’m a student” means ‘yes’.
“I’m a student”.
I go to school, and I learn.
“I’m not a student” means ‘no’.
“I’m a teacher” or “No, I’m not a student”.
Okay.
Now, notice, we first have the subjective pronoun and the ‘be’ verb.
Then, we put ‘not’.
Okay.
‘Not’ comes after.
And then we have the noun.
Okay.
“I’m not a student”.
Okay.
Now, also, listen carefully.
“Not a…” sounds like one word.
“I’m not a student”.
“Not a…”.
“I’m not a student”.
Okay, let’s look at the next one.
“He’s not a student”.
“She’s not a student”.
“It’s not a dog”.
Remember, ‘it’ is used for place, thing or animal.
So, “It’s not a dog”.
Okay.
“You’re not a student”.
Okay, the next one is a little bit different.
We have ‘we are’.
“We’re”.
Now, remember, ‘we’ means more than one.
Many.
Okay.
So we say “students”.
We put an ‘s’ and we don’t put an ‘a’ in front.
“We’re not students”.
Okay. And ‘they’re’ is the same thing.
It means more than one.
So, “They’re not students”.
“They’re not students”.
Okay, we’re going to look at some more examples.
I want you to listen carefully and repeat after the examples.
Let’s start with the first one.
“I’m not”.
“I’m not a boy”.
“I’m not a girl”.
“He’s not”.
“He’s not a man”.
“He’s not a boy”.
“She’s not”.
“She’s not a woman”.
“She’s not a girl”.
“It’s not”.
“It’s not a chair”.
“It’s not a cat”.
“You’re not”.
“You’re not a singer”
“You’re not a singer”.
“You’re not a friend”.
“We’re not”.
“We’re not sisters”.
“We’re not brothers”.
“They’re not”.
“They’re not people”.
“They’re not cars”.
Okay, so in this video, we learned how to use subjective pronouns
with the ‘be’ verb
and how to use them with the word ‘not’. Okay.
So, I wrote some sentences about myself using what we learned.
So remember, “I’m not a…”.
Okay.
“I’m not a boy”.
“I’m not a student”.
“I’m not a Canadian”.
And the last one.
“I’m not a loser”.
Okay.
So that was a little bit about me.
Thanks for watching and I’ll see you guys next time.
Bye.
