Forming the Negative
To make a sentence negative in the Present Continuous, you add "not" after 'am', 'is', or 'are'. This comes before the main verb, which always ends in '-ing'. The structure is: Subject + am/is/are + not + verb + -ing.
- Add "not" after 'am', 'is', or 'are'.
- The main verb always ends in '-ing'.
Using Contractions
Just like with positive sentences, we often use short forms, called contractions, in the negative. This makes your English sound more natural, especially when speaking. For example, 'I am not' becomes 'I'm not', 'is not' becomes 'isn't', and 'are not' becomes 'aren't'.
