Simple Present III (Unit 9)

Negative statements

You need: [color=orange]a personal pronoun
[color=green]the verb ‘to do’
[color=red]not
[color=blue]the infinitive

Example: [color=orange]You [color=green]do [color=red]not [color=blue]go.
There is also a short form: [color=orange]You [color=green]do[color=red]n’t [color=blue]go.

Be careful: The short form is mostly used in spoken language: ‘do not’–> ‘don’t’
‘does not’–> ‘doesn’t’
In written language please employ the ‘long form’.

I do not speak Spanish.
You do not write poems.
He does not work.
She does not like coffee.
It does not drink milk.
We do not take the train.
You do not use this.
They do not say good morning.

:slight_smile: How about you? Can you build negative statements? Write down a few sentences.

By the way, in Unit 10 we are going to review the question words.

Hi Lyalya,

Many thanks for your suggestion. This section is called English for Beginners and it clearly takes some practice to get to the conditionals. That’s why Sunny is concentrating on covering the basic grammar points.

Hi, everybody !

Thanks for your email about How to use negate in simple present tenses.
I don’t think that English is easy to learn. Every three days Torsen doesn’t forget me to send an email. After reading his email I don’t ignore it. Directly I reply this lesson to implement in conversation. Of course, I believe it that if we don’t practice English routine, we will feel difficulty to increase our skills. Don’t you agree with my statement ?
In other sample sentences simple present tenses is used to describing the dislike sentences.
For example
She doesn’t go by plane but she travel more savety by bus.
My sister don’t like watching the horror movies. she doesn’t watch the movies, but she often listen the radio.
Everyday my cat prefer eating rice and vegetables, it doesn’t eat fish.
If you don’t mind please correct my writting.
