Para dizer não com am, acrescente not: I'm not = I am not.
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.". Com I, a forma negativa é I'm not — "amn't" não existe.
Experimente: ___ a teacher. (I'm not / I isn't / I aren't) Resposta: I'm not — I'm not a teacher. Com I, a forma negativa é I'm not, nunca isn't ou aren't.
isn't
Para dizer não com is, acrescente not: isn't = is not.
He isn't here.
She isn't here.
It isn't here.
Not "He not is here." — say "He isn't here.". O not gruda no is → isn't, e não vem antes dele.
Experimente: Sofia ___ here. (isn't / aren't / not is) Resposta: isn't — Sofia isn't here. Sofia é uma pessoa só (she), então a palavra de negação é isn't, não aren't.
aren't
Para dizer não com are, acrescente not: aren't = are not. You usa sempre are / aren't.
You aren't here.
We aren't here.
They aren't here.
Not "They isn't here." — say "They aren't here.". we, they e you → aren't, nunca isn't.
Experimente: They ___ students. (aren't / isn't / not are) Resposta: aren't — They aren't students. They é mais de um, então a palavra de negação é aren't, não isn't.
Onde entra o not?
not vem depois de am / is / are.
I am not ready.
She is not ready.
They are not ready.
Not "She not is ready." — say "She is not ready.". Primeiro o verbo be, depois o not.
Experimente: We ___ ready. (aren't / isn't / not are) Resposta: aren't — We aren't ready. We é mais de um → aren't. O not gruda no are.
