How to Use Are: Negative Answers About State

In the previous lesson, we learned the use of are to tell about the present state.
In this lesson, we shall learn the use of are in a negative sentence to describe the present state.

 Formation of a sentence

These are negative answers. In these sentences, we use ‘not’ with ‘are’.

The formation of this sentence is as follows:

• No, + subject (we, you, they or plural number) + are not + other words

+ full stop (.)

In brief, we can say:

• No, + subject + aren’t.
• No, we aren’t.
• No, you aren’t.
• No, they aren’t.
