isn't

, in the present, past, and future tenses. This is basic English, so learn it right the first time, or review these if you’re at a more advanced level — many English students make mistakes with these! I’ll even show you a non-standard, ungrammatical form, so that you’ll recognise it when you hear it, though my advice is to avoid using it yourself! If you aren’t sure what this lesson is about, I’m not joking—all you need to do is click and all will be revealed!

hello teacher.please tell me if my sentence is correct.
I was an interesting person for others some time back.
but these days “I am missing being interesting”.
Here we have continues form and gerund and after that adjective.plzz tell me if it is right. thank u
Hi ghost rider — thanks for your question. A better way of saying it would be: “People used to find me interesting at one time, but these days I don’t seem to be interesting any more.” I hope this is helpful — all the best with your English studies :-)
Thanks alot

Very nice
Thanks for the lesson!
Thanks for the Lesson Mrs.Gill
Thank you
yes
Hi Gill! Just a doubt about the last question. The song’s title “ain’t no mountain…” has double negative, right? Cause “ain’t” involves the word “not” already, so for me it would be correct to put it this way: “ain’t mountain…” or “ain’t a mountain…” (without “no”) am I right? Thanks ♡
By the way I love your new hairstyle ?. You look pretty ♡. Hugs
Hi blueapplee – you’re right, it’s a double negative – this can happen with ain’t, and it just acts as a negative. In standard English, if you use a double negative, it can have a positive meaning, eg “I can’t not go” means “I must go”, “I can’t avoid going”. I hope this helps :-)
very nice
thanks alot
This session helps me a lot

Thank you very much Gill. Very interesting lesson about negative contractions! It is the first time I have heard about a contruction “ain’t”.
Hello, Gill
I love your videos on grammar. This helped me learn more about negative contractions. I have a question though not related to negative contraction. Is their ever an amount amount adverbs you are supposed to use in a sentence?
Thank you, Mesgana Tadesse :)
