webcam
06 / 19 · Three forms

Affirmative · Negative · Interrogative

Tudo gira em torno do to be.

Affirmative+
subject + am/is/are + verb-ing
  • I am working.
  • She is studying.
  • They are eating.
Negative−
subject + am/is/are + not + verb-ing
  • I am not working.
  • She isn't studying.
  • They aren't eating.
Interrogative?
am/is/are + subject + verb-ing ?
  • Am I working?
  • Is she studying?
  • Are they eating?

A negativa nega o to be; a interrogativa inverte o to be com o sujeito. O verbo principal sempre fica com -ing.
