There are three forms of sentences (zinnen) we can form in English:

  1. Positive sentences
  2. Negations
  3. Questions

Today's lesson will focus on making questions out of positive sentences.

Looking back: Chapter 2

Looking back at Chapter 2, we have discussed negations.

Have a quick look at the following video to refresh you memory.

In short, negation with "to be":

I am   very tall
I am not very witty

 

You can also make the negation shorter by saying: "I'm not very witty".

A negation with "to have got" looks like this: 

I have got   two brothers.
I have not got two brothers.

 

You can make the the negation shorter by saying: "I haven't got two brothers". 

Please continue to "Today's Lesson".

Today's Lesson: Chapter 3

For today's lesson we will discuss making questions with "to be" and "to have got".

The video below should help you understand how the questions are formed when using "to be" and "to have got".

Feel free to rewatch the video if you do not understand it yet.

In short, you change the position of the verb:

Question with "to be"

Jack is funny.
Is Jack funny?

 

Pay attention! Questions with "to have got" are different:

They have got fair hair.
Have they got fair hair?

 

The place of the word "got" does not change.

When you are ready, continue to the exercises page.

Extra material

You are here because you passed the practice test. Well done!

On this page, you will find more material on questions and negations with "to be" and "to have got".

So far, we have discussed positive questions and negations. We will now get into negative questions, combining the two!

 

If you want to turn a question with "to be" into a negative question you can change it like this:

A. Am I very tall?

B. Am I not very tall?

The place of the negation, not, is still the same.

Turning a question with "to have got" into a negative question:

A. Has she got a new skateboard?
B. Has she not got a new skateboard?

As you can see, as with the negation the place of the word not is still the same - right behind our subject "she".

You can also make sentences with "to be" and "to have got" shorter:

"To be": + not after the verb to make a negation.

I am ► I 'm
You are ► You 're
He/she is ► He/she 's
It is ► It 's
We are ► We 're
You are ► You 're
They are ► They 're

 

"To have got": be careful! If you make the negation short not becomes a part of have/has!

positive sentence     short sentence
I have got ►   I ve got
You have got ►   You ve got
He/she has got ►   He/she s got
It has got ►   It s got
We have got ►   We ve got
You have got ►   You ve got
They have got ►   They ve got
               
Negation     short sentence with negation
I have not got►   I haven't got
You have not got►   You haven't got
He/she has not got►   He/she hasn't got
It has not got►   It hasn't got
We have not got►   We haven't got
You have not got►   You haven't got
They have not got►   They haven't got

 

If you feel confident enough, you can continue to the final test now!
