Negative information questions

The Negation Rule: In English, in order to claim that something is not true, you form a negative sentence by adding the word not after the first auxiliary verb in the positive sentence. If there is no auxiliary verb in the positive sentence, as in the Present Simple and Past Simple tenses, then you add one (in both these cases, the auxiliary verb be).

She is not playing: [formal] She isnt playing.: Shes not playing. [informal]

Contracted and uncontracted negative questions have different word order. Uncontracted negative questions are usually used in a formal style

*Arent you coming? (Contracted auxiliary verb + nt + subject) *Doesnt he understand? (Auxiliary verb + nt + subject) *Are you not coming? (Uncontracted auxiliary verb + subject + not) *Does he not understand? (Auxiliary verb + subject + not)

*Two meanings

A negative question can have two different kinds of meanings. It can, for example, be used to ask for confirmation of something you believe to be true. Didnt you see Ann yesterday? How is she doing? (= I believe that you saw Ann yesterday.)
