In the previous lesson, we learned how to answer in an affirmative sentence.
In this lesson, we shall learn how to answer in a negative sentence.
Formation of a negative answer
These are negative answers.
In this formation, we use 'not' with 'are'.
So, the formation of a negative answer is as;
- No, + Subject(we/you/you/they/these/those) + 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.
