Affirmative to Negative

Affirmative to Negative refers to the process of changing a statement from a positive form (affirmative) to a negative form. In English, this often involves adding words like "not" or using negative auxiliaries such as "don't," "doesn't," or "isn't."

Examples:

• Affirmative: She is going to the market. Negative: She is not going to the market.
• Affirmative: They like pizza. Negative: They do not like pizza.

Rules of Affirmative to Negative Sentences:

1. Adding "not": In most cases, simply add "not" after an auxiliary verb (like is, are, have, do) to form the negative.

• Affirmative: She is going to the market.
  Negative: She is not going to the market.

2. Using "do/does/did": For sentences without auxiliary verbs, use do/does/did (depending on the tense) to make the sentence negative.

• Affirmative: I play football.
  Negative: I do not play football.

3. For the future tense (will): Use "will not" (won't) to make the sentence negative.

• Affirmative: They will come tomorrow.
  Negative: They will not (won't) come tomorrow.

4. For modal verbs (can, should, may, etc.): Add "not" after the modal verb.

• Affirmative: She can sing.
  Negative: She can't sing.

5. For present continuous (am/is/are + verb-ing): Add "not" after the auxiliary verb (am, is, are).

• Affirmative: I am reading a book.
  Negative: I am not reading a book.
