Grammar Focus 핵심 정리

1. Negative: be + not 부정문은 be동사 + not

Put not after be: I'm not, he isn't, they aren't. We never say "I amn't."

be동사 뒤에 not을 붙입니다. I'm not, he isn't, they aren't처럼 씁니다. I amn't라는 형태는 없습니다.

2. Questions: move be to the front 의문문은 be동사를 맨 앞으로

You are ready. → Are you ready? Just switch the order. Put a question word in front: Where are you from?

You are ready. → Are you ready?처럼 주어와 be동사의 순서만 바꾸면 의문문이 됩니다. 의문사가 있으면 맨 앞에 둡니다. Where are you from?

3. Short answers 짧은 대답

Answer with Yes, I am. / No, I'm not. In "yes" answers, don't shorten be at the end, so "Yes, I'm." is wrong.

Yes, I am. / No, I'm not.처럼 대답합니다. Yes로 대답할 때는 끝의 be동사를 줄이지 않기 때문에 Yes, I'm.은 틀린 표현입니다.
