How to say "I think that" in Japanese

In this lesson, I will introduce how to say "I think that" in Japanese. When you want to say what you think, you use the plain form together with とおもいます. と is a quotation particle which works just like "that". <Example Sentences> Affirmative: さとうさん　は　きょう　パーティー　に　くる　とおもいます。 I think Mr. Sato will come to the party today. Negative: さとうさん　は　きょう　パーティー　に　こない　とおもいます。 I don't think Mr. Sato will come to the party today. * Do not change とおもいます to とおもいません to negate the sentence just like English changes "think" to " don't think"    Normally, we negate the quoted part to negate the sentence. Affirmative: きょうと　は　きれいだ　とおもいます。 I think Kyoto is beautiful. Negative: きょうと　は　きれいではない　とおもいます。 I don't think Kyoto is beautiful. Affirmative: あのひと　は　アメリカじんだ　とおもいます。 I think that person is an American. Negative: あのひと　は　アメリカ人ではない　とおもいます。 I don't think that person is an American.
