Как рассуждать
1. Формы глагола \(to\ be\) в настоящем времени: \(am\) (только с \(I\)), \(is\) (\(he/she/it\)), \(are\) (\(you/we/they\)).
2. Утверждение — без \(not\): \(I\ am\), \(he\ is\), \(they\ are\). Увидел такое предложение — ставь A.
3. Отрицание — с \(not\) или \(n't\): \(is\ not/isn't\), \(are\ not/aren't\). Увидел \(not\) или \(n't\) — ставь N.
Поэтому в упр. 1 достаточно найти в предложении \(n't\): есть — N, нет — A.
4. Краткие (короткие) формы: \(I\ am \to I'm\), \(he\ is \to he's\), \(she\ is \to she's\), \(it\ is \to it's\), \(we\ are \to we're\), \(they\ are \to they're\), \(you\ are \to you're\). В отрицании сокращают либо глагол, либо \(not\): \(is\ not \to isn't\) или \(he's\ not\). У формы \(am\ not\) краткого варианта с \(n't\) нет — только \(I'm\ not\).
Проверка
- В упр. 1 утвердительных шесть (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9), отрицательных четыре (2, 3, 8, 10) — всего 10 предложений, сходится.
- В упр. 2 в каждом ответе глагол стоит в краткой форме, а смысл предложения не изменился: \(I\ am \to I'm\), \(is\ not \to isn't\), \(are \to 're\), \(is\ not \to isn't\).
