Are: Negative Answers about Profession

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.
