The history of the English language really started with the arrival of three Germanic tribes who invaded Britain during the 5th century AD. These tribes, the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes, crossed the North Sea from what today is Denmark and northern Germany. At that time the inhabitants of Britain spoke a Celtic language. But most of the Celtic speakers were pushed west and north by the invaders - mainly into what is now Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Angles came from "Englaland" and their language was called "Englisc" - from which the words "England" and "English" are derived

"Marchionini and Maurer(1995b) saw libraries as serving three roles in learning". What is the negative form sentence?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

"Marchionini and Maurer (1995b) did not see libraries as having three roles in learning".

Explanation:

In order to present the negative form of a sentence, you must first observe what is the verb that sentence presents. A verb is any word that indicates the performance of an action, or the existence of a state of mind or behavior. In the case of the above sentence, the verb is the word "saw" which is the past form of the verb "to see". The negative sentence must show that this action, determined by the verb, was not performed.

The verb "saw" needs an auxiliary verb to present its negative form, this auxiliary is the word "do" which will assist the verb "saw" both in presenting the negative form and in presenting the verb in the past tense. Thus, the "do" should be presented in the past tense instead of "saw", then "do" will be presented as "did" and "saw" will be presented as "see". The word "not" must be presented in the sentence, to show the concept of negativity, but it will be associated with the auxiliary verb and therefore it must be presented after "did" and before "see", forming the expression "did not see "which should replace the verb" saw "in the original sentence.

Therefore, the sentence in its negative form would be: "Marchionini and Maurer (1995b) did not see libraries as having three roles in learning".
