To make sentences with the verb be<\/span> negative, we add not<\/span> \u0628\u0639\u062f is<\/span> \u0623\u0648 are<\/span>.<\/strong> \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0633\u0628\u064a\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062b\u0627\u0644\u060c, He is not from Spain<\/span> \u0623\u0648 They are not happy<\/span>. We often use contractions like isn’t<\/span> \u0648 aren’t<\/span>. To ask a ‘yes\/no’ question, we change the word order: Is<\/span> \u0623\u0648 Are<\/span> comes before the subject. For instance, Is she a student?<\/span> \u0623\u0648 Are they friends?<\/span> For ‘Wh-‘ questions, the ‘Wh-‘ word comes first, then is<\/span> \u0623\u0648 are<\/span>, then the subject, as in Where is he from?<\/span> \u0648 Who are they?<\/span> Short answers use the verb be<\/span> without contractions for positive answers, like Yes, he is<\/span>, but use contractions for negative ones, like No, she isn’t<\/span>.<\/div>\n
