Teach is fine, but this way sounds more natural to me.

/ This isn't moving,. This is not moving. / This isn't moving. This is not moving.

These're moving. / These're not moving, These aren't moving. These're moving. / These're not moving, These aren't moving.

"These're" is not standard. You might hear it in casual/fast speech but it's uncommon to use it in writing. I believe it's "eye dialect"/視覚方言.

These' are moving/ These' are not moving, These aren't moving. These are moving/ These are not moving, These aren't moving.

This is better for writing.

These' are moving/ These' are not moving, These aren't moving. These are moving/ These are not moving, These aren't moving.

When talking, we pronounce it like "These're", but we don't write it that way.

These things're moving. / These things’re not moving. These things're moving. / These things’re not moving.

これも視覚方言だと思います。

These things' are moving/ These things’ are not moving. These things are moving/ These things are not moving.

This is better for writing.

These things' are moving/ These things’ are not moving. These things are moving/ These things are not moving.

Same as above.

ところで、離婚したり分かれたりしている人に、これは平凡（で陳腐）なセリフとして言われています。長めの説明を避けようとしているらしいですね！

「Those're」とは同様にレアな視覚方言だと思います。 "Those aren’t moving," doesn't sound natural.

Those' are moving /Those’ are not moving, Those aren’t moving. Those are moving /Those are not moving, Those aren’t moving.

This is better for writing.

Those' are moving /Those’ are not moving, Those aren’t moving. Those are moving /Those are not moving, Those aren’t moving.

same as above.

Those people' are working out. / Those people’ are not working out., Those people aren’t working out. Those people are working out. / Those people are not working out., Those people aren’t working out.

私は英語で「people're」という単語を読んだことがありません。実際の場に代わりに「They're not working out.」と言うだろうと思います。

Those people' are working out/ Those people’ are not working out, Those people aren’t working out. Those people are working out/ Those people are not working out, Those people aren’t working out.

This is better for writing.

Those people' are working out/ Those people’ are not working out, Those people aren’t working out. Those people are working out/ Those people are not working out, Those people aren’t working out.

Here's your key. /Here’s not y Your key, Here isn’'t your keyshere. Here's your key. / Your key isn't here.

I don't think a native speaker would say "Here’s not your key," or, "Here isn’t your keys." We don't really use that language to communicate absence.

Here's your key /Here’This is not your key, HereThis isn’t your keys. Here's your key /This is not your key, This isn’t your key.

"is" is for singular and for plural nouns which take the singular case. English isn't very good at doing a converse construction, unfortunately.

Here's your key /Here’s not your key, Here isn’t your keys. Here's your key

This is the only correct one.

Here're your keys /Here’re not y. / Your keys are not here. Your keys, Here aren’'t your keyshere. Here're your keys. / Your keys are not here. Your keys aren't here.

Here' are your keys /Here’These are not your keys, HerThese aren’t your keys. Here are your keys /These are not your keys, These aren’t your keys.

English isn't very good at doing a converse construction, unfortunately.

Here're your keys /Here’re not your keys, Here aren’t your keys. are your keys Here are your keys

Same as above.

There's your key. /There’s not your key, There Your key's not there. Your key isn’'t your keythere. There's your key. / Your key's not there. Your key isn't there.

There's your key /There’at is not your key, Thereat isn’t your key. There's your key /That is not your key, That isn’t your key.

English is tricky like this. We just get used to hearing and saying this.

There's your key /There’s not your key, There isn’t your key. There's your key

There're your keys /There’re not yYour keys are (right) there. / Your keys, There aren’'t your keysthere. Your keys are (right) there. / Your keys aren't there.

There' are your keys /There’se are not your keys, Therse aren’t your keys. There are your keys /These are not your keys, These aren’t your keys.

Your shirt's smelling/s. / Your shirt’s not smelling, Your shirt i doesn’'t smelling. Your shirt smells. / Your shirt doesn't smell.

In this context, "smell" and "stink" are almost interchangeable. smell/stink → 匂う

Your shirt's smelling/Your shirt’s not smelling, Your shirt isn’t smelling. Your shirt's smelling/Your shirt’s not smelling, Your shirt isn’t smelling.

This sounds strange as it is but I can imagine a longer sentence where it's okay. Example: Your shirt's smelling good/nice/awful/rank ("rank" is slang).

His mouth's smelling/His mouth’s not smelling, His mouth isn’t smellingbreath stinks. His breath stinks.

This is very direct even in US English!
