The document explains the distinctions between positive and negative sentences, defining positive sentences as statements that can be true or false, and negative sentences as those that negate the truth using words like 'not' and 'never'. It provides examples of both types of sentences and outlines the rules for forming negative sentences, including the use of helping verbs or the addition of 'do/does/did' when no helping verb is present. The document concludes with additional examples illustrating both positive and negative sentences.

1. NEGATIVE AND
POSITIVE
SENTENCES

2. POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SENTENCES
Sentences that tell something are called Positive Sentences.
They are statements.
It needn’t be true.
For Example:
1. He is a good boy.
2. It is raining outside.
Sentences that tell something which is not true or incorrect are called
Negative Sentences.
These sentences use words as no, not, never, none, nobody and no one.
For example:
1. He is not a good boy.
2. It is not raining outside.
3. They have never gone to London.
4. Nobody is listening to the teacher.
5. None of you should bring junk food.

3. FORMING NEGATIVE SENTENCES
The negative sentence is formed by adding a “not”
after the HELPING WORD.
For Example:
Positive Sentence: She is flying to England.
Negative Sentence: She is (helping word) + not +
flying to England.
 At times when the sentence doesn’t have a
HELPING VERB, then add DO/DOES/ DID based on
the given verb and then add NOT.
For example:
Positive Sentence: Rohan ate my chocolate.
Negative Sentence: Rohan + did+ not+ eat my
chocolate.
