Use of Am: Negative Answers about the State

Home » Listening » Use of Am: Negative Answers about the State

In this lesson, we shall learn the use of 'am' in negative answers. These negative answers are about the present state of being. Now we shall answer in a negative sentence.

The formation of a sentence

We should form a sentence as;

  •   No + I + am not + remaining words
  •                              or
  • No + I + am not

In a brief answer, we can say only-

  • No, I am not.
