Ninguno becomes ningún
No, no quiero ningún plato con carne. ~I don’t want any dish with meat.

4. 2nd Special- The double negative
What is a Double negative?
Can we have it in English? NO
Can we have it in Spanish?
YES
A double negative is required in Spanish when a no comes before the verb. The indefinite words that follow no must be negative.

5. 2nd Special- The double negative
Examples:
No veo nada.- I don’t see anything.
It would directly translate to I don’t see nothing.
Illegal in English BUT Perfect in Spanish!

6. 3rd Special- The personal a
Think about the words alguien (someone) or nadie (no one).
What do these two have in common?
They deal with PEOPLE therefore we need the personal A.
¿Conoces a alguien de España?

No, no conozco a nadie de España.
No I don’t know anyone from Spain.
