שלילה Negative

כדי להפוך משפט לשלילה, נוסיף לו את פועל העזר do בתוספת המילה not .

גם כאן, נחלק את הגופים לשתי קבוצות.

I

You

We do not (don’t) + V1

You

They

He

She does not (doesn’t) + V1

It

שאלות כן / לא Yes / No Questions

כדי להפוך משפט לשאלה שהתשובה עליה היא כן או לא, יש להוסיף למשפט בתחילתו פועל עזר.

לשמות הגוף : I, You, We, You, They נוסיף פועל עזר: Do.

לשמות הגוף: He, She, It נוסיף פועל עזר: Does.

חשוב!! כשמוסיפים את פועל העזר does, יש לזכור שאחריו יבוא הפועל בצורתו המקורית ללא תוספות s/es/ies (ה- does גנב את ה-s מהפועל ).

דוגמאות:

Examples

The boys like football.

Do the boys like football?

Yes, they do. No, they don’t.

Shira plays tennis well.

Does Shira play tennis well?

Yes, she does. No, she doesn’t.

שאלות Tag (נכון?!?) Tag Questions

שאלת ה- Tag באה בהמשך למשפט הרגיל.

כאשר המשפט חיובי, השאלה בשלילה. כאשר המשפט שלילי, השאלה בחיוב.

Ron lives in Ashkelon, doesn’t he?

They sing well, don’t they?
