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 tell about 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;

No, + subject (we/ you/ they /plural number) + are not + remaining words.

In brief, we can say -

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

Here are some examples. The formation is as above.
