Question

Make the sentences negative. The boys were playing football at 10 o'clock yesterday.

Answer 1

The boys weren't playing football at 10 o'clock yesterday

Answer 2

To make the sentence negative, we need to add the word "not" after the auxiliary verb "were". Here's the negative version of the sentence:

"The boys were not playing football at 10 o'clock yesterday."

In this negative sentence, "not" negates the action of playing football. It indicates that the boys were doing something other than playing football at that time.
