How to use negative words…

• If a verb is preceded by “no,” words that follow MUST be negative (if expressing a negative situation).

• Remember, a double negative is CORRECT in Spanish and is required when “no” precedes the verb.

• Example: No quiero nada• I don’t want anything

• But, if a negative word, such as nunca or nadie, comes before the verb, a second negative is not needed.

• Example: Nadie quiere postre.• No one wants dessert.
