Writer's Note
"Aren’t" is a contraction of "Are (a form of the verb be) + not". It is used in statements and questions, with "you", "they", and all other plural subjects.
When you make a question, invert the subject and auxiliary verb.
- You are singing. Why are you singing?
- You are not singing. Why are you not singing?
- You aren't singing. Why aren't you singing?
In all three examples, the verb "are or aren't" has moved in front of the subject "you". All the rest of the sentence after that singing or not singing stays the same.
