To change a positive sentence into a negative one, we typically add "not" after the auxiliary verb (like "was", "is", "are", "have", "had", "will", etc.) or use a contraction of the auxiliary verb and "not". We also need to ensure the subject-verb agreement and the tense remain correct.
B) I wasn’t absent yesterday. This option correctly uses the contraction "wasn't" after the subject "I" and before the adjective "absent," making the sentence grammatically correct and negative.
To change an affirmative sentence into a negative sentence, we generally add "not" after the auxiliary verb (or helping verb). In the given sentence, "is" is the auxiliary verb.
Correct Option: A) He is not my friend.
To form the negative of a sentence in English, especially one with a helping verb (like "are"), we typically insert "not" after the helping verb. The original sentence "We are enjoying the movie" is in the present continuous tense.
A) We are not enjoying the movie. This option correctly places "not" after the helping verb "are," forming the grammatically correct negative of the original sentence in the present continuous tense.
To change an affirmative sentence into a negative sentence, we typically add "not" after the auxiliary verb (like 'was', 'is', 'are', 'were', 'has', 'have', 'had', 'will', 'shall', 'can', 'could', 'may', 'might', 'must', 'should', 'would'). In this case, the auxiliary verb is "was".
Correct Option: B) She wasn’t late to the class.
This option correctly applies the rule of adding "not" after the auxiliary verb "was" and uses the common contraction "wasn't", which is grammatically correct.
To change a simple present tense affirmative sentence into its negative form, we need to use the appropriate auxiliary verb (do/does) followed by 'not' and the base form of the main verb. The subject-verb agreement must also be maintained.
Correct Option: D) They don’t help each other.
To form the negative of a sentence in English, we generally add "not" after the auxiliary verb (like 'am', 'is', 'are', 'was', 'were', 'has', 'have', 'had', 'will', 'would', 'can', 'could', 'may', 'might', 'must', 'should', 'ought to', 'do', 'does', 'did'). The given sentence "I am ready" uses the verb "am" as the main verb (a form of 'to be').
Correct Option: D) I am not ready.
