Negations in the present simple

What is the purpose of negative sentences?

When/where would you need to reply negatively in English?

Negations in the present simple

Bij vormen van to be en hulpwerkwoorden voeg je het woord 'not' toe om een ontkennende zin te maken: 

- to be (am/is/are) not

- cannot / can't

- will not / won't

She is 13 yes old. --> She isn't 13 years old. (is not)

He can speak English. --> He can't speak English. (cannot)

You will go to shool on Friday. --> You won't go to school on Friday. (will not)

Negations in the present simple

Staan deze werkwoorden niet in een zin? Dan moet je een hulpwerkwoord erbij pakken!

--> don't (do not) / doesn't (does not)

Na elke vorm van do moet je het hele werkwoord gebruiken 

You love cats --> You don't love cats.

He loves cats --> He doesn't love cats.
