Grammar Explanation 1.4
1.4 Negative Statements with Be
Examples Explanation
The dog owner is not
home now.
She isn’t home during the
day.
You are not ready for a
pet.
You aren’t patient.
To make a negative
statement with be, we put
not after a form of be. The
negative contractions are
isn’t and aren’t.
1.4 Negative Statements with Be
We can make contractions in negative statements with most subject
pronouns + a form of be or with a form of be + not . (Exception: I am
not.)
I am not I’m not
You are not You’re not OR You aren’t
He is not He’s not OR He isn’t
She is not She’s not OR She isn’t
It is not It’s not OR It isn’t
We are not We’re not OR We aren’t
They are not They’re not OR They aren’t
1.4 Negative Statements with Be
Language Notes:
1. We can make contractions with most nouns:
The dog is not friendly. = The dog’s not friendly. = The dog isn’t
friendly.
2. Remember: We cannot make a contraction with certain words + is.
(See 1.2)
This is not a good pet. = This isn’t a good pet. (NOT **This’s not a good
pet.
