II) QUESTIONS & NEGATION
1) Fragebildung; Einleitung:
A) Es gibt Fragen ohne Fragewörter und Fragen mit Fragewörtern.
Zuerst werden wir die Fragebildung im Allgemeinen behandeln, und die Fragewörter nicht
beachten. Weiter unten findest du dann eine Auflistung und die Regeln zu den Fragewörtern.
B) Man unterscheidet zwischen:
- Sätzen mit be oder have got als Hauptzeitwort (Prädikat) (sowie Sätzen in Tenses, bei
denen „be“ oder „have“ als Hilfszeitwort verwendet wird)
 ('Simple Questions')
- Sätzen, in denen das Hauptzeitwort (Prädikat) NICHT be oder have got ist (sowie Sätzen
in Tenses ohne Hilfszeitwort)
 (Questions with "do")

Basic Grammar – Intensive Course – Questions/ Negation
1) a) Simple Questions (ohne “do”)
© 2005 Bernie Zöttl
(ohne Fragewörter)
In Sätzen mit “be” und “have got” als Prädikat werden zur Fragebildung einfach die beiden
ersten Satzteile des Satzes vertauscht. (Achtung: „have got“ wird getrennt, „got“ bleibt also
unverändert an seinem Platz; siehe Bsp. 2) Der Rest des Satzes bleibt unverändert.
Bsp:
-Sue is a nice girl.
-Is Sue a nice girl?
-Melanie has got many toys.
-Has Melanie got many toys?
Auch Sätze, die in einer Tense stehen, die mit dem Hilfsverb „be“ oder “have” gebildet
werden, funktioniert die Fragebildung gleich wie oben beschrieben.
Tenses mit „be“ als Hilfsverb:
-alle Progressive Tenses (be + „ing“-Form)
-“going to”-Future
Tenses mit „have“ als Hauptverb:
-Present Perfect (have + 3rd Form)
-Past Perfect (had + 3rd Form)
Bsp:
-She is reading a book.
-Is she reading a book?
-The teacher has explained the rules.
-Has the teacher explained the rules?
Sätze mit “will”, “shall”, “should”, “might”, “can”, “may”, “must” werden ebenfalls auf
gleiche Art in Fragen umgewandelt:
Bsp:
-Lisa will visit her brother tomorrow.
-Will Lisa visit her brother tomorrow?
Übung 1: form questions:
1) Herbie is a nice boy. ________________________________________________?
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
You can come if you want. ___________________________________________?
Fred had got a terrible cold.___________________________________________?
My mother has baked a cake. _________________________________________?
Matt must read a book. ______________________________________________ ?
Lucy is shouting at Mike. ____________________________________________?

© 2005 Bernie Zöttl
1) b) Questions with „do“ (ohne Fragewörter)
In Sätzen mit einem anderen Prädikat als “be” oder “have (got)” muss zur Fragebildung das
Hilfsverb „do“ (in der jeweiligen Form) verwendet werden. „Do“ kommt an die erste Stelle
im Satz, der Rest des Satzes bleibt beinahe unverändert, aber Achtung: das Verb (Prädikat)
wird in die „Base Form“ abgewandelt!
Bsp:
-Sue likes
her brother.
-Does Sue like__ her brother?
-Melanie walked
along the street.
-Did Melanie walk__ along the street?
Übung 2: form questions:
1) Mary hates her teacher. ________________________________________________?
2) Mother cooks good. ___________________________________________________?
3) The singer sang a nice song. ____________________________________________?
4) The computer broke down. _____________________________________________?
5) The stone falls down the hill. ____________________________________________?
6) I go to school every day. _______________________________________________?

3) they/ will/ a song/ sing
_____________________________________________________________?
4) the/ had/ window/ been/ opened
_____________________________________________________________?
5) school/ like/ he/ does
_____________________________________________________________?
Übung 5: Fill in:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
(the children/ like) ____________________________ the song?
(mother/ have got) ____________________________ a golden ring?

Basic Grammar – Intensive Course – Questions/ Negation
© 2005 Bernie Zöttl
1) c) Fragewörter (interrogative pronouns)
Fragewörter stehen grundsätzlich immer am Satzanfang;
Es gibt zwei Arten von Fragewörtern:
A) Fragewörter, die nach dem Subjekt fragen (who, what)
B) Fragewörter, die nach einem Objekt fragen (alle anderen)
Bei Fragen mit Fragewörtern der Gruppe A (who und what) gilt:
Auf das Fragewort folgt der unveränderte Satz, das Subjekt wird durch das Fragewort
ersetzt.
Bsp:
-Peter likes tomatoes.
-Who likes tomatoes?
-The song is beautiful.
-What
is beautiful?
Bei allen anderen Fragewörtern gelten die oben genannten Regeln für “Simple Questions”
und „Questions with do“. Das Fragewort steht am Satzanfang, es ersetzt den Satzteil, nach
dem es fragt.
Bsp:
-Lenny sings a song.
-What does Lenny sing?
-Susie is in the restaurant
-Where is Susie?
Wenn nach dem Hauptverb (Prädikat) eines Satzes gefragt werden soll, wird „what“
gebraucht. Außerdem wird das Verb durch „do“ ersetzt.
Bsp:
-Rudolph went to the station.
-What did Rudolph do?
-My dad plays the piano.
-What does your dad do?

2) Verneinung; Einleitung:
Die Fragebildung und die Verneinung sind im Englischen sehr ähnlich:
Wie bei der Fragebildung gilt auch bei der Verneinung:
Man unterscheidet zwischen:
- Sätzen mit be oder have got als Hauptzeitwort (Prädikat) (sowie Sätzen in Tenses, bei
denen „be“ oder „have“ als Hilfszeitwort verwendet wird)  'Simple Negation'
- Sätzen, in denen das Hauptzeitwort (Prädikat) NICHT be oder have got ist (sowie Sätzen
in Tenses ohne Hilfszeitwort)  Negation with "do"
#7
www.englishpage.de.vu
Basic Grammar – Intensive Course – Questions/ Negation
© 2005 Bernie Zöttl
Simple Negation:
'be' und 'have got' können direkt verneint werden – ohne das Hilfszeitwort 'do'
Bsp:
Sue is a nice girl. Sue isn't a nice girl. - They were very sad. They weren't very sad.
Pete has got a girlfriend. Pete hasn't got a girlfriend. - I've got a pen. I haven't got a pen.
Für Sätze mit ‘be’ als Hilfszeitwort gilt dasselbe:
- Sätze in Progressive forms (be + ing)
Bsp:
I am writing a letter. I'm not writing a letter. - He is singing a song. He isn't singing a song.
Wilma was playing. Wilma wasn't playing. - The kids were eating. - The kids weren't eating.
Für Sätze mit ‘have’ als Hilfszeitwort gilt dasselbe:
- Sätze in Present Perfect, Past Perfect
Bsp:
I have already done it. I haven't yet done it. - They had seen her before. They hadn't seen her
before.
Für 'can', 'may', 'might', 'could', 'would', 'should', 'shall', and 'will' gilt dasselbe:
Bsp:
I can do this. I can't do this. - She may go. She may not go. - They might be here. They might
not be here. - We could do it. We couldn't do it. ...
Übung 7: Negate:
1) She can sing. _____________________________________________.
2) Pete is singing a song. ______________________________________.
3) Lucy has bought a ring. _____________________________________.
4) I am 20 years old. _________________________________________ .

Basic Grammar – Intensive Course – Questions/ Negation
© 2005 Bernie Zöttl
Negation with 'do':
Alle Sätze, die nicht wie oben beschrieben sind, werden wie folgt verneint:
Der verneinte Satz muss in derselben Tense stehen, wie der Ausgangssatz! Das Hauptverb im
Ausgangssatz wird durch die entsprechende verneinte Form von 'do' ersetzt;
verneinte Formen von 'do':
Present:
Past:
- I don't
- we don't
- I didn't
- you don't
- you don't
- you didn't
- he/she/it doesn't
- they don't
- he/ she/ it didn't
- we didn't
- you didn't
- they didn't
Auf die abgewandelte Form von ‘do’ folgt dann das frühere Hauptzeitwort in der BASE
FORM! (nach ‘do’ kann NIEMALS ein Verb in einer anderen Form als der Base Form
stehen! (wie z.B. past participle etc.))
Bsp:
They like ice cream. They don't like ice cream. She plays the flute. She doesn't play the flute.
We went to the cinema. We didn't go to the cinema. - They had breakfast. They didn't have
breakfast.
Aufforderungen (Commands) wereden ebenfalls mit 'do' verneint (auch wenn das
Hauptzeitwort 'be' or 'have' ist)
Open the door! Don't open the door! - Be there at 8! Don't be late! - Have a look at this!
Don't have a look at this!

2) a) Past Simple
Die Past Tense ist bereits abgeschlossen! Es gibt also keine Verbindung zur Gegenwart mehr!
Die Past Simple wird für allgemeine Aussagen und Beschreibungen in der Vergangenheit
sowie für kurz dauernde abgeschlossene Handlungen verwendet.
-The weather was beautiful.
-The Millers lived in San Diego.
-Pete went to the shop and bought a pizza.
Man benützt sie auch, um auszudrücken, dass etwas in der Vergangenheit immer wieder, nie,
oft, selten usw. geschah.
-Every Year, they visited grandmother who lived in Spain.
Time Indicators:
last year, week …
yesterday
on Monday, Tuesday…
three days ago
letztes Jahr, letzte Woche …
gestern
am Montag, Dienstag…
vor drei Tagen
Wenn aus dem Kontext klar ist, dass es sich um eine Handlung in der Vergangernheit handelt,
sind auch folgende Wörter Time Indicators:
always
immer
never

often
oft
seldom/ seldomly

Bildung:
regular verbs: „base form“+ „ed“
irregular verbs: in der Tabelle weiter unten sind die meisten unregelmäßigen
Formen aufgelistet
Sonderfälle: Um auszudrücken, dass etwas immer wieder geschah, kann man auch would
+ base form verwenden
-Every day Grandma’ would walk to the little store, where she bought some milk and
a few rolls.
Um auszudrücken, dass etwas nur früher so war, jetzt aber ‚aus und vorbei’
ist, kann man auch used to + base form verwenden. Diese Form wird speziell für frühere

2) b) Past Progressive
Die Past Progressive (oder Past Continuous) wird ausnahmslos für Handlungen, die bereits
abgeschlossen sind, verwendet! Sie wird für folgende Fälle gebraucht:
- Vergangene länger andauernde Handlungen.
-The baby was crying all afternoon.
- Beschreibung, was jemand zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt in der Vergangenheit gerade tat.
-What were you doing yesterday at 3 o’clock? – I was playing chess with my friends.
- Hintergrundhandlungen und Hintergrundinformation sowie Beschreibung des Wetters.
- It was raining when they arrived. In the street, many pedestrians were walking
around, and detective Hutch was sitting in a café reading the paper.
- Manchmal werden auch Beschwerden über etwas, das in der Vergangenheit geschah, mit der
Past Progressive gebildet. (Diese Handlungen sind jedoch ohnehin meist länger dauernd)
- It was horrible, they were talking and talking, but no-one was listening!
Time Indicators:
Da es sich um eine Form der Past Tense handelt, gelten die gleichen Signalwörter wie
für die Past Simple. Jedoch muss beachtet werden, dass zusätzlich Time Indicators, die
auf eine längere Handlungsdauer hinweisen, hinzukommen…
for an hour
eine Stunde lang
all afternoon (long)
den ganzen Nachmittag (lang)
while …
während …
Bildung:
„was/were“ + ‚ing’-Form des Verbs
to be:
I was
you were
he was

it was
we were
you were

2) c) Past Simple & Past Progressive - Unterschiede
In einigen Fällen stehen beide Tenses im selben Satz; Hierbei handelt es sich meist um den
Kontrast zwischen kurzen Handlungen im Gegensatz zu längeren Handlungen.
Es gibt grundsätzlich folgende 3 Fälle:
- Mehrere vergangene und abgeschlossene Handlungen folgen aufeinander; sie geschehen
eine nach der anderen. Hierbei stehen alle Handlungen in der Past Simple.
- The burglar broke the window. Then he got in through it. He stole the jewellery and
jumped out again.
- Mehrere vergangene und abgeschlossene Handlungen geschehen gleichzeitig (Es handelt
sich hierbei fast immer um länger andauernde Handlungen.) Die Past Progressive wird für
alle Handlungen verwendet.
- I was reading a book and Sammy was doing her homework.
-He was just walking out of the store when I was driving round the corner.
- Eine kurze und plötzliche vergangene und abgeschlossene Handlung unterbricht eine
(oder mehrere) länger andauernde vergangene und abgeschlossene Handlung(en). Die kurze,
unterbrechende Handlung steht in der Past Simple, die längere(n) Handlung(en) in der Past
Progressive.
- Ina was having a shower when the doorbell rang.
-The teacher was explaining the rules and all students were listening attentively, when
suddenly a loud scream shocked everybody.

6) Future Tenses
Im Englischen gibt es sehr viele Möglichkeiten, eine Handlung, die in der Zukunft geschehen
wird, auszudrücken. Die wichtigste Unterscheidung ist die zwischen „will“-Future und „going
to“-Future, doch auch alle anderen Future Tenses werden sehr oft gebraucht!
Übrigens: Modal Verbs (can, may, must…) stehen immer in der Present Simple!
6) a) “will”-Future Simple
Die „will“-Future Simple beschreibt einfache Handlungen und allgemeine Aussagen. Sie wird
in folgenden Fällen verwendet:
-Spontane Entscheidungen
-Come on, I will help you.
-I have just decided that I will go to the movies tonite.
-Vorhersagen & Wetterbericht
-The test will not be easy.
-They say that the storm will reach Florida on Tuesday morning.
-Tomorrow, the weather will be cloudy, and it will rain in most parts of the country
later in the afternoon.
-Versprechen & Vereinbarungen
-I will take out the dustbin tonite, but you will look after the baby.
-I promise, I will never do something like that again.
-Unsicherheit in Bezug auf die Zukunft, Vermutung
-They will probably come at 5 or 6 in the evening.
-We’ll call unless we forget it.
-Bei “if”-Sätzen (Conditional I) wird im Hauptsatz immer will-future verwendet.
-If you don’t go to bed now, you will be tired tomorrow.
-They will kill me if I don’t tell them who stole the car.
Time Indicators:
Es gibt mehrere Time Indicators für die “will”-Future; hier sind einige aufgelistet:
promise
versprechen
I have just decided that …
Ich habe gerade beschlossen, dass …
come on, …
komm schon, …
probably
vielleicht
maybe
vielleicht
possibly
vielleicht
it may be that
es kann sein, dass…
it isn’t sure that
es ist nicht sicher, dass
Bildung:
will + base form
will not = won’t
6) b) “will”-Future Progressive
Die „will“-Future Progressive beschreibt immer länger andauernde Vorgänge; sie drückt aus,
was zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt in der Zukunft gerade geschehen wird.
-Next year at this time I will be sitting in Brazil enjoying the warm weather.
-I think that they will be playing cards when we come home.
Bildung:
will + be + “ing”-Form

© 2005 Bernie Zöttl
6) c) “going to”-Future Simple
Die „going to“-Future Simple wird in folgenden Fällen verwendet:
-Pläne und geplante Vorhaben
-I am going to visit my uncle next week.
-They are going to sing a song at the prom. They have been rehearsing a lot.
-Vorhersagen, für die Beweise vorhanden sind; etwas, das offensichtlich geschehen wird.
-The test is going to be difficult; the teacher has told everyone to study hard.
-Look at those dark clouds! It’s going to rain soon!
-Beabsichtigte Handlungen in der Zukunft
-She has been reading a lot about piercings lately, so I suppose she is going to buy a
piercing soon!
-I am going to buy a new car, because my old one doesn’t really work any more.
-Sicherheit in Bezug auf die Zukunft
-They are certainly going to come.
-We’re going to call you as soon as we arrive at the airport.
Time Indicators:
certainly
surely
definately
look!
we have already decided
Bildung:
sicherlich
sicherlich
bestimmt
sieh mal…
wir haben bereits beschlossen
to be + going to + base form
to be:
I am
you are
he is
she is
it is
we are
you are
they are
Anmerkung: Umgangssprachlich wird „going to” vor allem in den USA öfters mit „gonna“
abgekürzt.
6) d) “going to”-Future Progressive
Die „going to“-Future Progressive kommt nur recht selten vor. Mit ihr kann man länger
andauernde Vorgänge, die bestimmt in der Zukunft geschehen werden, beschreiben.
-Next week they are going to be writing a 3-hour test.
-Telling from the clouds in the sky I’m sure it’s gonna be raining all night long.
Bildung:
“to be” + going to be + “ing”-Form
to be:
I am

she is

we are
you are
they are

6) e) Present Progressive als Future Tense
Die Present Progressive kann Handlungen in der Zukunft beschreiben, die bereits fixiert,
geplant und ausgemacht (fixed, planned and arranged) sind. Es handelt sich also um etwas,
das ganz bestimmt eintreten wird. Wichtig ist, dass der Sprecher/ bzw. der Handelnde selbst
Einfluss auf das Geschehen hat.
-We are staying at the Hilton. I’ve already called them and they will receive a room
for us.
-They are performing in the big hall. They’ve already arranged everything.
Bildung:
to be + “ing”-Form
to be:
I am
you are
he is
she is
it is
we are
you are
they are
Anmerkung: Oft kann die Present Progressive als Future Tense durch die „going to“-Future
ersetzt werden; es ergibt sich dann aber eine leichte Änderung des Sinnes, weil die Present
Progressive ausdrückt, dass etwas ganz sicher geschehen wird, die going to aber nur „recht
wahrscheinlich“ ist…
6) f) Present Simple – die “Timetable” Future
Grundsätzlich kann im Englischen – anders als im Deutschen – die Zukunft nicht durch die
Gegenwart ausgedrückt werden!
Es ist jedoch möglich, offizielle Zeitangaben mit Hilfe der Present Simple auszudrücken; dies
lässt sich dadurch erklären, dass diese Handlungen oder Vorgänge ja immer wieder eintreffen!
Es handelt sich also nicht wirklich um eine „reine“ Future Tense…
In jedem Fall darf die Present Simple als Future Tense nur verwendet werden, wenn die
betroffene Person keinen Einfluss auf die Handlung hat!
-The train leaves at 5:34. (It leaves whether I’m in it or not…)
-They broadcast the news at 10pm.
Bildung:
„base form“
ACHTUNG! He, she, it, ‚s’ muss mit!!!, also nicht das ‘s’ am Ende des
Wortes vergessen!
to be:
I am
you are
he is
she is
it is
we are
you are
they are
Anmerkung: Für offizielle Ankündigungen (also keine reinen Zeitangaben) wird
normalerweise die „will“-Future verwendet.
