In this video, we’re going to talk about
subjective pronouns,
1
1520
4691
00:06
‘be’ verbs,
2
6211
1311
00:07
and how to use them with the word ‘not’.
3
7522
2856
00:10
Okay. So, let’s look at the board to help us out.
4
10378
4159
00:14
Now the first sentence says, “I’m not
a student”.
5
14619
4364
00:18
‘Not’ means it’s not true.
6
18983
2394
00:21
No.
7
21377
1221
00:22
So remember, “I’m a student” means ‘yes’.
8
22598
3585
00:26
“I’m a student”.
9
26183
1089
00:27
I go to school, and I learn.
10
27272
2311
00:29
“I’m not a student” means ‘no’.
11
29583
2732
00:32
“I’m a teacher” or
“No, I’m not a student”.
12
32315
3585
00:35
Okay.
13
35900
1000
00:36
Now, notice, we first have the subjective
pronoun and the ‘be’ verb.
14
36900
6458
00:43
Then, we put ‘not’.
15
43358
2102
00:45
Okay.
16
45460
1000
00:46
‘Not’ comes after.
17
46460
1932
00:48
And then we have the noun.
18
48392
2463
00:50
Okay.
19
50855
872
00:51
“I’m not a student”.
20
51727
1956
00:53
Okay.
21
53683
697
00:54
Now, also, listen carefully.
22
54380
2525
00:56
“Not a…” sounds like one word.
23
56905
3095
01:00
“I’m not a student”.
24
60000
1775
01:01
“Not a…”.
25
61775
1455
01:03
“I’m not a student”.
26
63230
2524
01:05
Okay, let’s look at the next one.
27
65754
2106
01:07
“He’s not a student”.
28
67860
3062
01:10
“He’s not a student”.
29
70922
3409
01:14
“She’s not a student”.
30
74331
2659
01:16
“She’s not a student”.
31
76990
3932
01:20
“It’s not a dog”.
32
80922
2664
01:23
Remember, ‘it’ is used for place, thing or animal.
33
83586
5729
01:29
So, “It’s not a dog”.
34
89315
3568
01:32
Okay.
35
92883
865
01:33
“You’re not a student”.
36
93748
2671
01:36
“You’re not a student”.
37
96419
2703
01:39
Okay, the next one is a little bit different.
38
99122
3438
01:42
We have ‘we are’.
39
102560
1559
01:44
“We’re”.
40
104119
1000
01:45
Now, remember, ‘we’ means more than one.
41
105119
3040
01:48
Many.
42
108159
1000
01:49
Okay.
43
109159
778
01:49
So we say “students”.
44
109937
1712
01:51
We put an ‘s’ and we don’t put an ‘a’ in front.
45
111649
3195
01:54
“We’re not students”.
46
114844
2428
01:57
“We’re not students”.
47
117272
2670
01:59
Okay.
And ‘they’re’ is the same thing.
48
119942
2887
02:02
It means more than one.
49
122829
1970
02:04
So, “They’re not students”.
50
124799
2757
