Demonstrative pronouns
Como vimos na aula anterior temos dois pronomes demonstrativos usados no singular e dois
usados no plural. Os pronomes utilizados no singular são this (perto) e that ( longe) e os
pronomes usados no plural são these (perto) e those (longe).
Para formarmos frases negativas com esses pronomes devemos acrescentar o NOT logo após o
verbo to be( is ou are).
This is my new car. – This is not my new car.
That is my cat. – That is not my cat.
These are their new balls. – These are not their new balls.
Those are not our dogs. – Those are not our dogs.
Formas abreviadas
Is not – isn`t // are not – aren`t
