    • Original statement: Voy al colegio en coche. (I go to school by car.)
    • Question: ¿Vas al colegio en coche? (Do you go to school by car?)

    Forming Negatives in Spanish

    • To make a negative sentence, simply put "no" in front of the verb.

    Key Spanish Negatives

    • Ninguno/a/os/as: none, not any (changes to agree with the noun).
    • Nadie: nobody, not anyone.
    • Nada: nothing, not anything.
    • Tampoco: neither, not either.
    • Nunca/Jamás: never.
    • Ni……ni: neither, nor.

    Agreement of Negatives with Nouns

    • Alguno and ninguno drop the -o before a masculine singular noun.
    • Ninguno/ninguna is usually used in the singular form.

      • ¿Tienes algún libro? (Do you have a book?) → No, no tengo ningún libro. (No, I don't have any book).
