He's not hungry vs. he isn't hungry #1 (permalink) Fri Apr 28, 2006 13:53 pm   He's not hungry vs. he isn't hungry
 

Hello

I would like to know if each of this is correct.

Could anyone explain me the differences between these and tell me if they are correct sentences?

Thank you very much in advance!

There is no difference between he isn't and he's not: they are merely two ways to form the contraction. The same holds true for we aren't and we're not, I've not and I haven't, etc.

Hello!Both of them are correct.The difference between them is the following:"he's hungry where "he's not" is a contracted form of the "he is",letter "i" is omitted and "he isn't"-"he is not"accordingly, "o" is omitted.

Both phrases mean the same. It's just that in "he isn't", you connected "is not" while in "he's not" you connected "he is". Both phrases mean "he is not".
