Negative Sentences:

A negative sentence is a sentence that states that something is false. In English, we create negative sentences by adding the word 'not' after the auxiliary, or helping, verb. An example of an auxiliary verb is the helping verb 'be.' There are different forms that 'be' takes, including 'am,' 'is,' 'are,' 'was,' and 'were.'

'Be' Verbs

Let's create negative sentences that contain 'be' verbs. Remember, 'be' verbs include 'am,' 'is,' 'are,' 'was,' and 'were.'

For Example:

• David is not a happy person.
• The clouds were not blocking the sun's rays.

These are examples of negative sentences because the word 'not' changes the sentence to a false statement. Notice that the word 'not' is placed after 'is' and 'were', which are auxiliary verbs.
