Am not, Isn't, Aren't (A1)
am の否定文にするには not を足します。I'm not = I am not です。
I'm not
- I am not here.
- I'm not a teacher.
- I'm not ready.
- Not "I amn't ready." — say "I'm not ready.". I の否定の形は I'm not です。「amn't」という形はありません。
- やってみよう: ___ a teacher. (I'm not / I isn't / I aren't) 答え: I'm not — I'm not a teacher. I の否定の形は I'm not です。isn't や aren't になることはありません。
isn't
is の否定文にするには not を足します。isn't = is not です。
- He isn't here.
- She isn't here.
- It isn't here.
- Not "He not is here." — say "He isn't here.". not は is の後ろにくっついて isn't になります。前には置きません。
- やってみよう: Sofia ___ here. (isn't / aren't / not is) 答え: isn't — Sofia isn't here. Sofia は1人の人(she)なので、否定には aren't ではなく isn't を使います。
aren't
are の否定文にするには not を足します。aren't = are not です。You にはいつも are / aren't を使います。
- You aren't here.
- We aren't here.
- They aren't here.
- Not "They isn't here." — say "They aren't here.". we, they と you → aren't です。isn't になることはありません。
- やってみよう: They ___ students. (aren't / isn't / not are) 答え: aren't — They aren't students. They は2人以上を表すので、否定には isn't ではなく aren't を使います。
not はどこに置く?
not は am / is / are の後ろに置きます。
- I am not ready.
- She is not ready.
- They are not ready.
- Not "She not is ready." — say "She is not ready.". be動詞が先、そのあとに not です。
- やってみよう: We ___ ready. (aren't / isn't / not are) 答え: aren't — We aren't ready. We は2人以上なので aren't になります。not は are の後ろにくっつきます。
