The Present Simple

The verb to be can be used in a shortened form?

This is used when we speak in English. Nowadays, it is also common to see it in written English (although not in formal letters and texts). 

It is difficult.                   or           It's difficult.

She is on holiday.         or          She's on holiday.

He is a hard worker.     or           He's a hard worker.

I am tired.                       or           I'm tired.

We are students.          or           We're students.  *

They are funny.             or          They're funny.

You are my friend.       or           You're my friend.  *

*See next slide!

The Present Simple

Negations

Negations or negative means that something is 'not'.  

If the first verb in the sentence is am, is or are, you can just add not. 

I am an English teacher. 

Becomes 

I am not an English teacher.

The Present Simple

Negations

For the next exercise, turn the normal sentences using to be, into negative sentences. Pay attention to capital letters, and full stops, and the shortened form!

 Use short forms!  There are two ways of doing this: 

I am                     = I'm not  

You are not        = You're not   /    You aren't     

she is not           = she's not     /    she  isn't       

They are not     = They're not   /     They aren't

We are not        =   We're not     /      We aren't

I am a very happy person.
(re-write this as a negation using the short form)

He is almost deaf.

(re-write this as a negation using the short form)

They are at the pool every week.
(re-write this as a negation using the short form)

We are at school on Saturday.
(use the shortened form)

Congratulations! 

You have finished this lesson.
