Negative Form Of Modals

Remember the rule is to add «not» after the modal verb. Except for «have to», modals NEVER take do/does/did

The negative rule is: add "not" AFTER the modal verb

«might» does not have a contracted form. Therefore, you cannot write «mightn't»

Remember «cannot» is one word.

The correct answer is "I would not do it if I were you., I wouldn't do it if I were you." The original sentence expresses a conditional statement where the speaker is advising against doing something. By making the sentence negative, the speaker emphasizes their recommendation to avoid the action. Both "I would not do it" and "I wouldn't do it" convey the same meaning, indicating the speaker's strong suggestion to refrain from the mentioned action.

«may not» does not have a contracted form. Therefore, you CANNOT put «mayn't»

The correct answer is "Marie Sophie should not study more., Marie Sophie shouldn't study more." This sentence is negative because it uses the word "not" to indicate that Marie Sophie should not increase her studying. The use of "shouldn't" also conveys the same meaning in a more informal way.

The correct answer is "Lara must not stay after school., Lara mustn't stay after school." The original sentence "Lara must stay after school" is transformed into a negative form by adding "not" or "mustn't" before the verb "stay". This indicates that it is necessary for Lara to avoid staying after school.

For «have to», you need to add do/does/did in front of the modal and put the modal in its base form.

«have to» in the negative form takes do/does/did. Also, you need to put the modal in its base form.
