جملة سلبية

A negative statement is used to say that someting is not true. There are a few different ways to create negative statements.

To make a sentence negative the word "not" is added, the verb "do" is usally also added for emphasis. For example: I do not eat healthy food.

Do not is often contracted to "don't". For example: I don't eat healthy food.

Verbs such as "can", "be", "will", "shall", and "must" just add not. The following table shows the negative form of do, be and can, as well as any applicable contractions.

	do	be	can
I	do not, don't	am not	cannot, can't
you	do not, don't	are not, aren't	cannot, can't
he	does not, doesn't	is not, isn't	cannot, can't
she	does not, doesn't	is not, isn't	cannot, can't
it	does not, doesn't	is not, isn't	cannot, can't
we	do not, don't	are not, aren't	cannot, can't
they	do not, don't	are not, aren't	cannot, can't

Another way to make a negative statement is to add the word no before a noun in the sentence.
