Which is correct?
1A: Are not we part of this team as well?
1B: Are we not part of this team as well?
2A: Why is not the manager of the team trying to sell him.
2B: Why is the manager of the team not trying to sell him.
Thanks for your help  |

In negative interrogatives 'not' follows the subject. I would say only 1B and 2B (you need a question mark to end the sentence) are correct.

| I agree that only 1B and 2B are good sentences. |
