Double Negatives

What's wrong with this sentence: "We can't find nothing to do."

It has TWO negatives!

"We can't find nothing to do."

As you know, words like

no
not
nothing
no one
nobody
never
nowhere
barely
scarcely
hardly

are all negative words. In English, we can only use one negative at a time.

So the sentence above is correct if we change one of the negatives.

Example: "We can't find anything to do."

"Anything" is a positive word, and now we only have one negative in the sentence.

Click on the link HERE to try some on your own.

Please start with Level A.
