About This Resource
This A1–A2 resource compares the main present-simple negative patterns with be, ordinary verbs, and have. It helps learners decide which verb carries the negative, use contractions naturally, and avoid mixing be with do/does support.
What You’ll Learn
• Form negatives with am/is/are + not.
• Form negatives with don’t/doesn’t + base verb for ordinary verbs.
• Use don’t/doesn’t + have in simple-present possession patterns.
• Choose natural full forms or contractions without mixing negative systems.
