    Negative Questions

    In a yes/no question in which the verb is negative, usually a contraction is used:

    --Doesn"t she live with you?

    The other form, which is not contracted, is considered formal and is rarely used in everyday speech:

    --Does she not live with you?

    To form a negative question, make the auxiliary negative by adding not:

    --Do they cash traveler"s checks?
    --> Don"t they (Do they not) cash...?
     
    HERE ARE SOME MORE EXAMPLES:

    --Is Mr. Jones here?
    -->Isn"t Mr. Jones here?

    --Are you coming?
    -->Aren"t you coming?
