I DON’T HAVE A STOMACHACHE

 Sometimes we feel pain in the stomach, and sometimes we don’t. "I don’t have a stomachache" is a useful sentence when you want to say you feel fine and your stomach does not hurt. For example, if someone asks, "Do you have a stomachache?" you can answer, "No, I don’t have a stomachache." It’s important to know how to say when you feel pain and when you do not. You can also say, "My stomach feels fine" or "I’m okay; I don’t feel sick."

• Friend: Do you have a stomachache?

• You: No, I don’t have a stomachache. I feel fine.
