Avoiding Double Negatives Lesson 5

Lesson 5 – Double Negatives Some negative words are used as adverbs. A negative is a word that means ”no.” Examples: never, none, no, hardly, no one, and nowhere.

Lesson 5 – Double Negatives Use only one negative word to give a negative meaning. If two negative words are used together it makes a double negative and is incorrect. Example: I won’t never give up.

Lesson 5 – Double Negatives To correct a double negative, you can substitute a matching positive word, or drop one of the negatives. Example: I won’t never give up. I won’t ever give up. I will never give up.

Lesson 4 –Adverbs or Adjectives? Directions: Write the word in parentheses that correctly completes each sentence. Yoko hadn’t (never, ever) heard the story of Blackwell’s life. Elizabeth Blackwell never wanted to be (anything, nothing) other than a doctor. In 1845 medical schools did not admit (no, any) women. Blackwell never (did, didn’t) accept rejection.
