   I ___ tired.

   • am not
   • isn't
   • aren't

   Look at the word “I.”

   You can also say “I'm not tired.”

2. 2. Complétez le blanc.

   He ___ at home.

   • aren't
   • isn't
   • am not

   The message is about one person: “he.”

3. 3. Complétez le blanc.

   They ___ hungry.

   • isn't
   • am not
   • aren't

   The message is about “they,” not “I” or “he.”

   “They aren't hungry” means “They are not hungry.”

4. 4. Choisissez la bonne réponse.

   What is the full form of “I'm” in this message?

   I'm not cold.

   • I is
   • I am
   • I are

   Think of the form of “be” that goes with “I.”

   • I am

   “I'm” means “I am.” The word “not” comes after it.

5. 5. Choisissez la bonne réponse.

   Who is Mia?

   Mia isn't my sister. She's my friend.

   • My sister.
   • My mother.
   • My friend.

   The second sentence tells you who Mia is.

   Show solution

   • My friend.

   “Isn't my sister” means Mia is not the speaker's sister.

   Which message has the same meaning?

   It's not my phone.

   • It is my phone.
   • It isn't your phone.

   “It's not” and “it isn't” both mean “it is not.”

   Max feels well. What is your short reply about Max?

   Is Max sick?

   • Yes, he is.
   • No, he isn't.
   • No, I'm not.

   Your reply is about Max, not yourself.
