We will look at positive sentences, the negative sentences and the questions

Thomas:
Two examples of positive sentences are 'I am Thomas' and 'She is Emma'

Emma:
Yes, I am Emma, I am 14 years old and I am a student. He is Thomas, he is 12 years old and he is a student. We can make these negative sentences by using the word not.

Thomas:
I am not Emma, I am not 14 years old and I am not a girl

Emma:
I am not Thomas, I am not 12 years old and I am not a boy.
