All right,

I hope you don’t have problems with our previous lessons.

Today, we are going to see the negative form of sentences in simple future tense. No objections? Great!

Do you still remember the magic  /nu:n/ with /næ/ sound, which makes verbs negative? Wonderful!

As you remember, we would put < /nu:n/ with /næ/ sound in the beginning of a verb to make it negative. Let’s see an example:

I went =  /mæn ræftæm/.

I didn’t go =  /mæn næræftæm/. (næ + ræftæm)

Here in simple future tense, we will follow the same rule. However, there is a small difference. Guess what!

Here, instead of attaching /næ/ to the main verb (like what you see above), we should attach /næ/ to our auxiliary verbs. Here’s how:

I will go =  /mæn kha:hæm ræft/.

I will not go =  /mæn nækha:hæm ræft/.

As you see, the main verb (ræft) remains unchanged.

Did you get the point? Good!

Let’s see some more examples:

She will write =  /u: kha:hæd nevesht/.

She will not write =  /u: nækha:hæd nevesht/.

They will open =  /a:nha: ba:z kha:hænd kærd/.

They will not open =  /a:nha: ba:z nækha:hænd kærd/.

We will clean =  /ma: tæmi:z kha:him kærd/.

We will not clean =  /ma: tæmi:z nækha:him kærd/.

And so on. Hopefully, it’s not difficult.

See you next week!

Khoda Hafez!
