39. Spanish Negation
To make sentences negative, you place no before the verb. Other negatives may precede or follow the verb, but if they follow, they must follow a negative verb (a double negative). The word order is no + verb + negative.
| nada nadie ninguno (a) tampoco ni ni...ni ni siquiera nunca, jamás |
nothing, (not) anything nobody, (not) anybody no, none neither, either nor neither... nor not even never, ever |
Nunca means ever when it follows a comparative; jamás means ever when it follows an affirmative verb.
