  12. Negative Statements The marker for any negative statement is _____n______ This indicates that you MUST shake your head “no”. It can be used alone to negate any statement.

  13. Yes responses When you are answering a question with a positive response, the correct marker is _____y_____. This indicates that you nod your head “yes”.

  14. Negative Yes/No Questions • The marker for negative yes/no questions is ______nq______. • This indicates that your eyebrows should be slightly raised and slightly squinted, and you should shake your head “no”. __________nq____________ • EX: YOU NOT DO HOMEWORK?
