[Make sure you know which indefinite word is positive and which is negative]

2. Indefinite and Negative Words
Part 2

3. Remember:
We need to match the negative all through the sentence. For a sentence to be negative, there must be a negative word before the verb. Any other indefinite words in the sentence must be in the negative as well.
Ejemplos:
Yo no hablo con nadie.
No hay nada en la mochila.
Ningunos libros están debajo del escritorio.

4. Also remember:
Algo (something/anything), Nada (nothing/not anything), alguien (someone, somebody, anybody), & nadie (no one, nobody, not anyone) all work ONLY as NOUNS in sentences.
These will also only work as singular nouns.

5. Alguno/a(s) Ninguno/a(s)

6. These work similar to demonstratives:
They can work as ADJECTIVES or as PRONOUNS.
They must MATCH the word they are describing/replacing.

7. When they work as adjectives:
They will go BEFORE the word they describe.
They must match GENDER and NUMBER with the word they describe.
If they come before a SINGULAR MASCULINE noun you need to use the special forms (algún, ningún)

8. Ejemplos: No me gusta ninguna verdura.
I don’t like any vegetable.
Algunos estudiantes estudian en la biblioteca.
Some students study in the library.
Ellos no necesitan ningunas toallas.
They don’t need any towels.

9. When they work as pronouns:
Rather than just DESCRIBING the word, they REPLACE it entirely.
You still need to match GENDER and NUMBER with what they replace.

10. Ejemplos: I need some. (fruit)
Yo necesito algunas.
They aren’t looking for some. (students)
Ellos no buscan a ningunos.
Some (types of fish) taste like chicken.
Algunos saben a pollo.
