句型分析:
1、一般疑问句是将be动词移到主语前面,句末加问号,读升调。
be+主语+doing sth
Are they putting up the scaffolding? Yes, they are. / No, they arent.
Is he showing a foreign guest round the city? Yes, he is. / No, he isnt.
2、否定句式是在be动词后加not。
主语+be+not+doing sth
I am not working.
He isnt running on the track.
The students arent playing football.
