Este es la segunda parte de la leccin 10 que es llamada leccin 10b. En la primera


leccin (10a) vimos la forma positiva de los verbos que no son to be y aprendimos
como conjugarlos. Ahora veremos y estudiaremos juntos la forma negativa y de
pregunta.

The Simple Present tense


Negative form
The structure of the negative structure is formed by adding the auxiliaries do or does
plus the negation not
Do + not > dont
Does + not > doesnt
These auxiliaries are used TO HELP you. When you use the auxiliary the verb is always
in its simple.
Remember:
In positive we had 2 conjugations for every verb (not to be)
- play/plays , work/works, study/studies, watch/watches, etc
The conjugation is simple: HE / SHE / IT - with the s form and I / WE / YOU /
THEY - simple form

Examples:
My brother works for IBM.
My parents live in Paris.
IN THE NEGATIVE FORM THE AUXILIARY CHANGES FORM AND NOT THE
VERB.
He / she / it + doesnt + verb (simple form)
I / We / You / They + dont + verb (simple form)
Figura #1:

Nota del profesor:Como vemos, lo que se conjuga en la forma negativa es el auxiliar y


no el verbo. Es decir, uno va elejir entre dont y el doesnt pero el verbo SIEMPRE
estara en su forma simple (sin la terminacin s)

Question form
The question structure is formed by following the following structure
Question word + [do / does + SUBJECT + Verb (simple form)] + Complement
We use the auxiliaries do and does in the question form and they have to agree with the
subject
The conjugation is the following:
Does > he/she/it
Do -> I/we/you/they
The verb ALWAYS stays in the simple form (not with the s form)

Short Answers

Las respuestas cortas son con los auxiliares do y does con la forma positiva y dont y
doesnt con la forma negativa. La respuesta corta se refiere a cuando responde solo si o
no.

Conclusion:
The auxiliaries appear in the negative and question form with the verbs that are not to
be.
Example:
(+) Juan plays soccer.
(-) He doesnt play soccer.
(?) Does he play soccer?
*VERB TO BE (NO AUXILIARIES!!!)
(+) She is a teacher
(-) She isnt a teacher.
(?) Is she a teacher?
Nota: Recuerden que cuando usen el verbo to be (es decir cualquier conjugacion de ser
o estar en el presente) no se usan los auxiliares puesto que estos se usan solo con los
demas verbos y en negativo y en pregunta)
