To be present tense is one of the most important and commonly used tenses in English. The negative form is just as important, but can often be confusing for learners. In this article we will explain the negative form of to be present tense, and how to use it correctly.
The negative form of to be present tense is made by adding the word “not” after the verb “to be”.
The negative form is very simple. However, there are a few things to remember when using it. First, remember that in the negative form, the word “not” goes after the verb “to be”. Second, when using the negative form, make sure that your subject and verb agree. In other words, if your subject is singular (I, she, he), then your verb must also be singular (am not, is not). If your subject is plural (we, they), then your verb must also be plural (are not).
What is the form
The form “to be present tense” is the basic form of the verb “to be” in present tense. The negative form is used to indicate that something is not happening or that someone does not exist. For example,
I am not here.
You are not listening.
He is not going to school today.
I am not a teacher.
She is not from England.
We are not happy with the results.
They are not here yet.
To form the negative, we simply add the word “not” after the verb “to be”. In the example sentences above, we use the short form of the negative (i.e. “am not”, “are not”, “is not”). However, we can also use the long form of the negative (“do not”, “does not”) as shown below:
I do not want to be here.
You do no listen to me.
He does go to school today?
