English A1 Q&A Corrections #131
Topic: Question and correction practice with is / is not
Lesson overview:
In this thread, we practice a very common beginner pattern: questions and short answers with is. We also practice the negative form is not. This lesson follows the previous correction threads and continues with simple, useful sentence patterns for everyday English.
Review from earlier lessons:
- am / are
- this / these
- polite words like please and thanks
New focus today:
- is
- not
- yes
- no
- here
5 useful words:
1) is = iz
2) not = not
3) yes = yes
4) no = no
5) here = hiir
Word notes:
- is: use with he, she, it, and singular nouns.
- not: add it after is to make a negative sentence.
- yes: use it for a positive short answer.
- no: use it for a negative short answer.
- here: use it for a place close to you.
5 example sentences:
1) Is she here?
Reading: iz shee hiir
Meaning: O burada mı?
2) Yes, she is here.
Reading: yes, shee iz hiir
Meaning: Evet, o burada.
3) No, he is not here.
Reading: no, hee iz not hiir
Meaning: Hayır, o burada değil.
4) The bag is not here.
Reading: dhə bag iz not hiir
Meaning: Çanta burada değil.
5) Is the bag here?
Reading: iz dhə bag hiir
Meaning: Çanta burada mı?
Usage notes:
- Use is in short questions: Is she here?
- Use is in short answers: Yes, she is here.
- Use is not for negative statements: He is not here.
- In spoken English, people often say isn’t, but this lesson uses the full form is not.
Mini practice:
A) Correct the mistake:
- He are here. -> He is here.
B) Make a short answer:
- Is the bag here?
- Answer: Yes, it is. / No, it is not.
C) Try your own sentence:
- Write one question with is.
- Write one short answer with yes or no.
Answer key:
1) He is here.
2) He is here. / No, she is not here.
3) Yes, it is. / No, it is not.
