La estructura del presente simple en forma negativa es:
Sujeto + do/does + not + verbo
| Forma larga |
Forma corta |
| I do not play |
I don't play |
| You do not play |
You don't play |
| He does not play |
He doesn't play |
| She does not play |
She doesn't play |
| It does not play |
It doesn't play |
| We do not play |
We don't play |
| You do not play |
You don't play |
| They do not |
They don't play |
La forma que usaremos con mayor frecuencia es la forma corta. Si nos fijamos, siempre hay que usar el verbo do
que va a actuar como un auxiliar que requiere y necesita la negación en el presente simple.
*IMPORTANTE: El verbo 'to be' siempre manda y, por ello, para negar no requerirá el auxiliar:
| Forma larga |
Forma corta |
