Questions

When you want to make a question with words like:
what, why, when, where, who, which or when
Then the verb 'to do' becomes the second word in the sentence instead of the first.

What does it mean?

Negations
For the next exercise, turn the normal sentences using to be, into negative sentences. Pay attention to capital letters, and full stops, and the shortened form!
 Use short forms!  There are two ways of doing this: 
I am                     = I'm not  
You are not        = You're not   /    You aren't     
she is not           = she's not     /    she  isn't       
They are not     = They're not   /     They aren't
We are not        =   We're not     /      We aren't
