1. Negatives 1A

2. How to
To make a sentence negative in Spanish, you typically put “NO” in front of the VERB, not the subject.
Example: A Elena no le gusta trabajar
Verb: gusta
Translation: To work is not pleasing to Elena.

3. Questions
If you are responding negatively to a question, you use no two times (just like English)
No #1 – answers the question
No #2 – this is the “not” part of the sentence
¿Te gusta dibujar?
No, no me gusta dibujar
No, I do not like to draw
#1 #2

4. Nada
If you use “nada” in your sentence, you must also have “no” in it. (In English, we wouldn’t use a double negative, in Spanish it’s okay)
Ex:¿Te gusta cantar?
No, no me gusta nada cantar
No, I don’t like to sing at all
(Notice: nada – and mucho – come AFTER gusta)

5. Ni…ni If you don’t like either of two options, use Ni…ni
(if you use “ni” once in a sentence, you MUST use it again)
Each “ni” is placed in front of the verb or item you like
Ex: No me gusta ni trabajar ni dibujar
I like neither to work nor to draw
I don’t like either to work or to draw

6. Tampoco vs. También También is an agreement with a positive statement
Ex: Me gusta bailar  I like to dance
A mí también  Me too
Tampoco is an agreement with a negative statement
Ex: No me gusta bailar  I don’t like to dance.
A mí tampoco  Me neither
