Understanding Negative Sentences in Present Continuous Tense
- Sentence Structure: Subject + is/am/are + not + (Verb I + ing) + Object.
- In Present Continuous Tense, we use is/am/are as helping verbs, followed by not and the verb in -ing form.
- Present Continuous Tense (वर्तमान कालीन काल) के Negative Sentences (रोकात्मक वाक्य) में is/am/are के बाद not का प्रयोग किया जाता है और वर्ब को -ing रूप में लिखा जाता है।
Examples (उदाहरण):
- I am not going to school.
(मैं स्कूल नहीं जा रहा हूं।)
(यहां “am” हेल्पिंग वर्ब है, “not” रोकात्मक शब्द है और “going” मूल क्रिया हो रहा है।) - He is not going to school.
(वह स्कूल नहीं जा रहा है।)
(यहां “is” का प्रयोग किया गया है क्योंकि “he” एक singular नाम है।) - She is not going to school.
(वह स्कूल नहीं जा रही है।)
(यहां “is” हेल्पिंग वर्ब का प्रयोग किया गया है।) - We are not going to school.
(हम स्कूल नहीं जा रहे हैं।)
(यहां “are” हेल्पिंग वर्ब है क्योंकि “we” बहुवचन वाला नाम (स्पीकर) है।) - You are not going to school.
(आप स्कूल नहीं जा रहे हैं।)
(यहां “are” हेल्पिंग वर्ब है क्योंकि “you” बहुवचन तथा एकवचन दोनों हो सकता है।) - They are not going to school.
(वे स्कूल नहीं जा रहे हैं।)
(यहां “are” बहुवचन वाले नाम के साथ आया है।)
