This has given you a good idea of how to formulate negative sentences, different tenses.

Let's move on to negative watts, which is another way of making a sense is negative.

Changing a positive word in the sentence toe.

A negative war.

Examples off negative, wide saw.

No, no one.

Nothing.

NASA no longer neither.

No, very little, Very few.

Let's see how these work.

Let's contrast them with negative sentences, as you have just reviewed.

So we have a sentence here.

There are some people.

Let's change that into a negative sentence.

First, there are not any people.

And now replace not any with a negative word like No, there are no people.

That's right.

So you have two ways off making this sentence negative, Miss Vickers.

Another sentence.

There was someone at home.

There wasn't anyone at home.

And now we can replace not anyone with the negative Wide no one that was no one at home.

We saw something has changed into a negative sentence with a negative UB.

We didn't see anything.

And now we can replace not anything with nothing.

We saw nothing.

I've always done this negative for I haven't ever done this negative ward.

I've never done this.

It is still raining.

It's not raining anymore.

And we can now replace.

Not anymore.

With the negative expression, no longer, it is no longer raining.

We drink both wine and beer.

Negative sentence.

We don't drink either wine or beer.

Now we can replace, not either or with neither.

No, we drink neither line nor beer.

They have much money.

They didn't have much money.

Not much is little or very little.

Let's put that in the sentence.

They had a little money.

They had very little money and our last example.

She knows many people.

She doesn't know many people, not many can be replaced by the negative expression to very few.

She knows a few people.

She knows very few people.

Let's just stay with words little and few for a while because it's important that you note this little point.

Little and few are negative, as you have just seen.

They are the opposite off much and many and mean almost not.

If you had the word up to these words and say a little and f you, they become positive.

They mean something.

So you've got to be really careful which one you use.

So when you hear or say they had a little money, it means they had almost no money.

Whereas when you say they had a little money, you mean that some money In order to avoid this confusion, it's always a good idea toe.

Add the word very two of the negative expressions to insist on the negative.

They had very little money, right Then let's look at some special cases, the special cases where your word is in the subject position and you want to make it negative.

The first group should look at IHS all everyone and everything when you have a sentence that begins with these words, where these words are the subject off the sentence and you want to make it into a negative idea.

You have two ways of doing this.

You can add the word not to the beginning off the sentence, or you can use a negative wide, which is the opposite off all.

Everyone for everything.

The opposite of a wall is none.

The opposite of everyone is no.

One, and the opposite of everything is nothing.

However, be careful that depending on which form you use the meaning changes.

Let's show you an example.

Let's start with sentence.

All the guests have arrived and make it negative By adding not to the beginning off the sentence, not all the guests have arrived.

This means that only some off some have arrived.

However, if you use a negative wide, that is none the opposite of all.

To make the sentence negative, it means something different.

None off the guests have arrived.

May is the Nagus of arrived.

Avoid saying all the guests haven't arrived.

Avoid using a negative verb because it is ambiguous.

Your listener won't be sure Which one you mean.

Let's look at another example.

Everyone is ready.

Let's not to the beginning off the sentence.

Not everyone is ready.

And as you know now, it means only some people already.

The other case no one is ready means that there are no ready people and you quite a different idea from the first and again avoid using a negative of up because it makes it.

I'm biggest.

Let's look at another group of words, but you have to be careful with when you want to create negative idea with them both someone and something There is only one way of creating a negative idea here, and that's by using the opposite.

The opposite of bowls is neither.

Someone no one and something nothing.

For example, both of them are here.

The negative sentence for this will be neither of them.

I Oh, something happened to make this negative.

Used the negative expression, the opposite of something.

Nothing happened.

Avoid other forms of negatives because they want me much.

You're listening right Then we've covered a lot of ground with the negatives.

Let's look at some common mistakes.

The first common type of mistake is forgetting to use the auxiliary, for example, saying something like I have not any time now hear the for path is the main verb is the present symbol.

Therefore, you do need an auxiliary.

Don't.

I don't have any time.

Let's look at another example.

He knows not many people.

You need to change your sentence into a negative sentence with the auxiliary.

That's right, doesn't he?

Doesn't know many people and our last examples, of course, in the past, simple tens avoid saying they went not very far change your verb into a negative where they didn't go very far.

Let's look at the second type of common mistake that you might make or you might hear, and that's using an auxiliary with the verb to be with a model or using two auxiliaries, for example.

You may hear I do not have finished.

Now here, the path is the auxiliary for this tense, so you don't need another one you can simply at not to the auxiliary.

Half the correct form is I haven't finished.

Oh, you might hear someone use on auxiliary with a model like this.

He doesn't can swim again.

There is no need for the auxiliary, doesn't can is a model verb and takes direct negative.

Hey, Consuelo, as forget an example with the verb to be, I didn't be able to call once again.

Adding, Not to divert to be is enough.

No need for didn't I wasn't able to call.

And finally, the last type of common mistake with negatives is using double negatives.

That's right.

Let's look at an example you may hear I don't have nothing.

What's happened here is that you've used both a negative UB on dhe a negative what?

Remember they are alternatives.

You can say I don't have anything.

Oh, use the negative one.

I have nothing.

Let's give you one last example of a double negative.

I haven't never been there once again.

Just either used the negative Ferb or the negative.

What?

Negative up.

I haven't ever been there.

Oh, negative.

What?

Life never been there.

Well, that's all for the negatives.
