Well, now I know what the next lesson will be: simple verbs and conjugation.

You got the right idea TUSF, except that ですis an affirmative verb. Just for now, the negation of です are any of these....


 * では　ありません.
 * じゃ　ありまでん.
 * では　ない.

Putting "では　ない　です. " is bad grammar. In English, it's like saying "I am am not a person". xD
