При образовании отрицательной формы сохраняется порядок слов утвердительного предложения, отрицание notставится между вспомогательным и смысловым глаголом.

Мы не будем менять свои планы на воскресенье.

При образовании вопросительной формы вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим, а смысловой – после подлежащего.
