How do you explain the following exercise?
___________________ (I/ not/do) a good job on the windows now?
Am I not doing a good job on the windows now?
Aren �t I doing a good job on the windows now?
Both are correct??????
The short form answer for I + not in a Present Progressive Question.
= Aren �t I
Do you agree?

Yes, both of these are correct. There is no such thing as �am �t I? � The only contraction is �aren �t I? �

Aren �t I doing a good job on the windows? - This means you are looking for clarification that you are doing a good job on the windows.
Am I not doing a good job on the windows? - This means you are asking if you are doing a good or bad job on the windows.
That is the difference. Both are correct, but it depends on what answer you are looking for. |
