“I Can’t Feel My Face” by The Weeknd and Practicing Negatives

Posted on Aug 9 2015 - 11:00am by PopESL

She told me, “Don’t worry about it”
She told me, “Don’t worry no more”
We both knew we can’t go without it
She told me you’ll never be in love oh oh oooh

I can’t feel my face when I’m with you, but I love it, but I love it
I can’t feel my face when I’m with you, but I love it, but I love it

We love this song. In fact, we had a mini quiz about it:

Mini Quiz!5

“I can’t” is a negative sentence.

  • Can is a modal verb.
  • To form the negative  add “not” after can to form cannot or can’t.
  • Affirmative sentences in the simple present tense become negatives by putting do not, don’t, does not or doesn’t before the verb.
  • Affirmative sentences in the simple past tense become negatives by putting did not or didn’t before the verb.
  • Form negative statements with not or n’t after be, modal and auxiliary verbs.

Practice negatives by changing these affirmative sentences to the negative form.
