Negative Sentences

When we get an answer in 'No', such sentences are called negative sentences.

Examples

	Positive Sentences	Negative Sentences
1	The girl is playing.	The girl is not playing.
2	They are jumping.	They are not jumping.
3	I am solving sums.	I am not solving sums.
4	He was happy.	He was not happy.
5	We were feeling well.	We were not feeling well.
6	Mansi can do it.	Mansi can not do it.
7	I know you.	I do not know you.
8	Rashi comes here.	Rashi does not come here.
9	I will do it.	I will not do it.
10	He has reached.	He has not reached.

Remember, while making a negative sentence if there is no other helping verb in the sentence, we use the helping verb 'do' or 'does' along with 'not'.

If the verb is made up of two words, we put 'not' after the first word.

Examples:

• come                           do not come
• is cooking                    is not cooking
• shall be dancing          shall not be dancing
