Hey!!

Here's your answer:

A negative sentence is a sentence that states that something is false. In English, we create negative sentences by adding the word 'not' after the auxiliary, or helping, verb. An example of an auxiliary verb is the helping verb 'be.' There are different forms that 'be' takes, including 'am,' 'is,' 'are,' 'was,' and 'were.'

For example:

1.She is not happy.

2.They were not playing football.

Hope it helps....

Have a great day..ʘ‿ʘ
