6. Present Continuous Tense: Cara membuat negative sentences
Bab 6. Present Continuous Tense: negative
sentences
Negative sentences alias kalimat penyangkalan adalah kalimat yang mengandung makna ‘tidak/bukan’. (Yaelah …, penjelasan kok cuma kayak gini… L).
Cara
membuatnya sangatlah mudah. Pola kalimatnya sama dengan positive sentences alias kalimat pernyataan, hanya saja ditambahi not setelah be:
I am … menjadi I am not …
She is … menjadi She is not … dan seterusnya.
Setelah
be not, tambahkan kata kerja ing. Maka, pola kalimatnya adalah seperti
ini:
I am not reading. He is not reading. They are
not reading.
Begitu
saja kok caranya. Gampang to? Lebih lengkapnya, lihat tabel di bawah ini:
