Not "I amn't ready." — say "I'm not ready.". I의 부정형은 I'm not이에요. "amn't"라는 형태는 없어요.
해 보세요: Lars says, "Hello, Amina!" Sofia says, "Sorry, ___ Amina. I'm Sofia." (I'm not / I isn't / I aren't) 정답: I'm not — I'm not Amina. I의 부정형은 I'm not이에요. isn't나 aren't는 쓰지 않아요.
isn't
is의 부정문은 뒤에 not을 붙여요. isn't = is not이에요.
He isn't here.
She isn't here.
It isn't here.
Not "He not is here." — say "He isn't here.". not은 is 뒤에 붙어서 isn't가 돼요. 앞에 오지 않아요.
해 보세요: Sofia ___ here. (isn't / aren't / not is) 정답: isn't — Sofia isn't here. Sofia는 한 사람(she)이므로 aren't가 아니라 부정어 isn't를 써요.
aren't
are의 부정문은 뒤에 not을 붙여요. aren't = are not이에요. You 뒤에는 항상 are / aren't를 써요.
You aren't here.
We aren't here.
They aren't here.
Not "They isn't here." — say "They aren't here.". we, they, you 뒤에는 aren't를 써요. isn't는 절대 쓰지 않아요.
해 보세요: They ___ students. (aren't / isn't / not are) 정답: aren't — They aren't students. They는 여러 명을 가리키므로 isn't가 아니라 부정어 aren't를 써요.
not은 어디에 들어갈까요?
not은 am / is / are 뒤에 와요.
I am not ready.
She is not ready.
They are not ready.
Not "She not is ready." — say "She is not ready.". be동사가 먼저 오고, 그 뒤에 not이 와요.
해 보세요: We ___ ready. (aren't / isn't / not are) 정답: aren't — We aren't ready. We는 여러 명을 뜻하므로 aren't를 써요. not은 are 뒤에 붙어요.
줄임말: I'm, you're, he's, it's
isn't와 aren't는 줄임말이에요. am, is, are에도 줄임말이 있어요: I am → I'm, you are → you're, he is → he's, it is → it's. 아포스트로피는 빠진 글자를 대신해요.
I'm Amina.
You're happy.
He's tired.
It's a book.
해 보세요: "Are you ready, Amina?" "Yes, ___ ready." (I'm / Im / I'am) 정답: I'm — I'm = I am이에요. 아포스트로피가 am의 a 자리를 대신해요. "Im"은 아포스트로피를 빠뜨렸고, "I'am"은 am을 그대로 두어서 줄어든 것이 없어요.
