This is a noun that requires a preposition to be used correctly in a
sentence. Prepositions are words like "above," "around," "under"
and "over" that are used to link nouns and phrases to other words
in a sentence. The noun that a preposition introduces is called the
object of the preposition. For example, in the phrase "under the
table," "under" is the preposition and "table" is the object of the
preposition. A phrase with a noun and a preposition is called a
prepositional phrase. Here is a way to use it in a sentence:
"The cat was under the table."
If you like, you can use multiple prepositional phrases in your
sentence:
• "The cat was under the table and on top of the rug."

They are not working hard
They will not be working hard
They had not worked hard
They have not been working hard
They might not have been working hard
They aren’t working hard.
They won’t be working hard
They hadn’t been working hard
To construct the negation for all other verbs in the simple
present or the simple past, we have to use the helping verb
do + not before the verb itself.
• Example:We speak English. → We do not speak
English.Something to note here is that the verb itself
always remains in its basic form when being negated. Only
the helping verb do is conjugated. We use does for the
third person singular in the simple present (but do for all
other persons) and did for all forms in the simple past.
• Example:They speak English. → They do not speak
English.He speaks English. → He does not speak
English.They spoke English. → They did not speak English.

The compound tenses and the passive already
have a helping verb that we also use when
negating them. All we have to do is add the little
word not between the helping verb and the main
verb.
Example:They are speaking English. → They are
not speaking English. (present progressive)They
have spoken English. → They have not spoken
English. (present perfect simple)They will speak
English. → They will not speak English. (future
I)English is spoken in that country. → English is
not spoken in that country. (passive)
