IN NEGATIVE SENTENCES

                          IN NEGATIVE SENTENCES

When a sentence in either the Present Simple or Past Simple tenses has to be as a main verb, then no auxiliary verb is needed for negation. The word not is simply added after the verb. In other words, the verbs to be and to do do not appear in one verb phrase together.

EXAMPLES:

Positive sentence – She is from Spain.
Negative sentence – She is not from Spain.
[ to be is the main verb, no auxiliary verb needed]

Positive sentence – She works in Madrid.
Negative Sentence – She doesn’t work in Madrid.
[ to be is not he main verb, auxiliary verb needed]
