Study Notes
Simple Present: Negative and Interrogative Forms
- The lesson focuses on the negative and interrogative forms of the simple present tense.
- The auxiliary verbs "DO" and "DOES" are essential for forming negative and interrogative sentences.
- These auxiliaries are primarily used for negative and interrogative forms, but can also emphasize affirmative sentences.
Usage of DO and DOES
- Pronouns are grouped with either "DO" or "DOES."
- "DOES" is used with the third-person singular pronouns: HE, SHE, and IT.
- "DO" is used with the pronouns: I, YOU, WE, and THEY.
Negative Form
- To make a sentence negative, use "DOES NOT" or "DO NOT" (or their contractions "DOESN'T" and "DON'T") after the subject pronoun, before the verb.
- In negative sentences, the verb returns to its base form without the "S" that is typically added in the affirmative form for third-person singular subjects.
- Example: "Él no juega futbol" translates to "HE DOES NOT PLAY SOCCER" or "HE DOESN'T PLAY SOCCER."
Interrogative Form
- To form a question, start the sentence with the appropriate auxiliary verb ("DO" or "DOES").
- Follow the auxiliary verb with the subject pronoun, then the base form of the verb, and any additional sentence elements.
- Remember to include a question mark at the end of the sentence.
- Example: "¿Juega él fútbol?" translates to "DOES HE PLAY SOCCER?"
Short Answers
- Short answers to questions use the auxiliary verb.
- Example: YES, HE DOES or NO, HE DOESN'T.
Negative Interrogative Form
- Negative interrogative sentences (interro-negativas) combine questioning and negation.
- These sentences can start with "DON'T" or "DOESN'T," followed by the subject and the base form of the verb.
- Example: "¿No comen ellos carne?" translates to "DON'T THEY EAT MEAT?"
- Example: "DOESN'T SHE STUDY ENGLISH TODAY?" is a negative interrogative sentence.
