Question about negative sentence: 她不是在吃东西
I read in my text book the following sentence: 她不是在吃东西. Shouldn't it be: 她没有在吃东西 or 她没在吃东西?
What would the difference be between the three sentences: 1) 她不是在吃东西; 2) 她没有在吃东西 and 3) 她没在吃东西)?
Thanks

There might be a slight defference between these two.
她不是在吃东西： The emphasis is that she is doing something else.
她没有在吃东西： The emphasis is on denial. She is not eating.

1 means that she does not "eat" something. Maybe she's drinking or doing something else.
2&3 are the same meaning. 沒=沒有。 she isn't eating something.

All of them should be correct and same meaning.
It is means" she is not eating.".
不是 is like "not" in English, which is a very common response to the negative scentence.
没有/没 reprensent " no" in last two sentences. In Chinese, all these type are ok. But last two is more native.
