Double Negatives

Curso Intermediário: gramática, In English Por: Mary em 17/11/2007

In portuguese, it is ok to say “Não como nada.” But you cannot say “I don’t eat nothing” in English.

Here is a jingle (poem) we use to teach children not to use double negatives.

Don’t ever use NOT and NEVER together.

Don’t say, “We don’t never have fun” because you’ll be using two negatives and you need to be using just one.

You will always be in trouble in your negatives are double!

From Up, Up and Away: a Book About Adverbs by Ruth Heller.

See you!

    You will always be in trouble IF your negatives are double corrigindo me.

    I was at the blog chat last night at 7 pm Eastern Standard time (my time). I will be there again this morning at 8 am.

    Hope to see some of you there. I like this chat better than sharedtalk because in sharedtalk everytime a person invites me to chat in private, it interrupts my ability to type in the chat room until I answer the call.

    Congratulations, Alessandro for creating a useful tool for language learners.
