Hi everybody   Cheesy

Have you got any ideas about the difference between the two following sentence?

He's not hungry. and

He isn't hungry.

Hope someone can clear my doubt

Hello Jupiter and everyone,

I have asked a native teacher of English about this question.

He's is a contracted form 'He is'.
He isn't is a contracted from 'He is not'.

As instructed, 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.


Hope this helps!
