Grammar notes

🌧️ Not Happening Now (Present Continuous Negative)

To make the present continuous negative, put not after am / is / are. We say I'm not listening, he isn't sleeping, and they aren't playing. The action is possible, but it is not happening now.

  • Example: I'm not watching TV.
  • Example: They aren't playing tennis.

Quick Rule

  • am / is / are + not + verb-ing
  • use it for an action that is not happening now

When the movie stops, add not and tell the truth.
