hello and welcome everyone you're back
with me new at anglo-link and today I'm
going to review negative words and
negative forms with you by the end of
the video you'll have a very good
understanding of how to formulate
negative sentences in English so when
you're ready we can begin let's start
with negative verbs
first let's look at the verb to be
positive sentence it's common negative
just add not to your verb it is not
common in spoken English it's always
better to use the contracted form isn't
it isn't common next example he was here
that's right just put the word not one
was he was not here he wasn't here
we are ready add not we are not ready we
aren't ready one last example with the
verb to be there were many people
there are not many people though what
many people let's look at the models now
again as you know models take direct
questions and negatives Joe can drive
Joe cannot drive or in the contracted
form Joe can't drive she could stay she
could not stay she couldn't stay we
should stop we should not stop we
shouldn't stop I would do that I would
not do that I wouldn't do that I must
sleep
I must not sleep I mustn't sleep let's
move on to other tenses first tenses
where you can see the auxilary
for example the auxiliary verb to be she
is looking for a pen she is not looking
for a pen she isn't looking for a pen
we're going to start that's right just
add not your verb to be we're not going
to start we aren't going to start they
were leaving
when he arrived they were not leaving
when he arrived they weren't leaving
when he arrived
let's look at some other auxiliaries now
the verb has an auxilary in the present
perfect
she has just left just add not to has
she has not just left
she hasn't just left in the past perfect
he had had dinner before going out just
add not to the first hat he had not had
dinner before going out he hadn't had
dinner before going out
and finally the future tense with the
auxilary will prices will fall just add
not to win prices will not form prices
1/4 right then let's look at tenses
where you cannot see the auxilary as you
know they are the present simple and
past simple tenses the auxiliary is all
do does for the present simple and did
for the past let's look at the first
example we have a deal
it's the present simple have is the main
verb and we need the auxiliary don't we
don't have a D James lives in London
what do you think the auxiliary is here
that's right
does in the negative doesn't James
doesn't live in London and finally past
simple they went to the museum the
auxiliary in the past is
did they didn't go to the museum
