Explanation: This sentence states that the children do not go to school when they reach the age of fifteen. This implies that they stop attending school at fifteen.
Step-by-step solution:
- To form the negative sentence, we need to use the auxiliary verb "do" and the main verb "go" in its base form.
- Since the subject is "The children," we need to use the third-person plural form of the verb "do", which is "do not."
- The main verb "go" remains in its base form, which is "go."
- So the correct negative form of the sentence is "The children don't go to school when they are fifteen years old."
