Simple Present Tense Negative

The Present Simple is learned when we first begin to study English and is used all the time.

It is important to know how to make negative sentences in the Present Simple.

For example:

Positive: Jack eats ice-cream every day.
Negative: Jack doesn’t eat ice-cream every day.

Try to make these sentences negative:

2. Lara plays the piano very well.
3. We work very hard.
4. He does the same thing every day.
5. They know my phone number.
