Hi
guys.
So
yesterday we talked about how to form questions. Today we’re going to revise
that and talk about negatives.
The
question form is QUASV.
Remember:
All
questions need an auxiliary except :
- 1. questions where the main verb is be
- 2. subject questions
Example
of a normal question- Where
are you going?
Example
of a question with be as the main verb- What
is the time?
Example
of a subject question- What
happened?
Remember,
questions where the main verb is be or subject questions can have
an auxiliary (e.g.
Who is making that noise?) but only if the tense requires it.
There
are very similar rules for negative sentences.
All
negatives need an auxiliary except:
- 1. negatives where the main verb is be.
In
each of the following sentences, the main verb is in
bold and the auxiliary, if there is one, is in
italics.
- I don’t have any money.
- The woman wasn’t trying to steal anything.
- My mum has never been to Africa.
- We won’t go if you don’t want us to.
- I can’t kick a football to save my life.
- If he hadn’t saved my life I’d be dead.
- I’m not happy with the English classes.
- Of course I haven’t taken your watch.
On
Thursday we’re going to practise negatives and questions and look at some common
mistakes.
See
you then and good luck with your English.
