Para hacer la INTERROGATIVA I LA NEGATIVA, no necesitamos
ningún verbo auxiliar, lo único que tenemos que hacer es lo siguiente:
Para la INTERROGATIVA:
Lo único que tenemos que hacer es girar el pronombre y el
verbo TO HAVE, como en el siguiente ejemplo:
Afirmativa
|
You
|
Had
|
been
|
studying
|
Interrogativa
|
Had
|
you
|
been
|
studying?
|
Para la NEGATIVA:
Tenemos que añadir NOT después del verbo HAVE, como en el
ejemplo siguiente:
Afirmativa
|
You
|
had
|
been
|
studying
|
Negativa
|
You
|
had not
|
been
|
studying?
