Change affirmative sentence into negative sentence.

Tips

In the simple present tense, we make negative forms with do not or does not. Use do when the subject is a plural noun or pronoun (you, we, they)

• They live in this house. (Affirmative)
• They do not live in this house. (Negative)

Use does when the subject is a singular noun or pronoun. (he, she, it)

• He knows me. (Affirmative)
• He does not know me. (Negative) (NOT He does not knows me.)

Use do when the subject is the first person singular pronoun I.

In the simple past tense, we make negatives with did not. Use did with both singular and plural subjects.

• I met them yesterday. (Affirmative)
• I did not meet them yesterday. (Negative)

If the affirmative sentence is in other tenses, you only have to add not after the auxiliary verb to make it negative.

• She has come.
• She has not come.

Change the affirmative sentences into negative sentences.
