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:
