Questions and Negations

Today's class

Can and To be

• To make a question with am, are, is and can, you put it at the beginning of the sentence.
• A few examples:

      - You are a student -> Are you a student?

      -Fish can swim -> Can fish swim?

      -  He is late -> Is he late?

Other verbs

• With other verbs, we use Do and Does to make a question.
  
•  We use Do with I, you, we, they. Does with shit.

• With to have got, we do not use Does or Do.
  
• Have is moved to the front, got stays in the same place.

Negations

• You add not or n't after the verbs are, is and can to make a negative sentence.
  

• You write can + not as one word: cannot.
  
• The short form of I am not is always I'm not.

Negative sentences: other verbs

• With other verbs, you add do not/don't or does not/doesn't and you use the verb without to.
• With to have got you add not or n't after have or has.
