grammar.negation.basic-no

Basic negation: no before the verb

No goes immediately before the verb (and its object pronouns): no trabajo hoy, no lo sé. Answering negatively often doubles it: No, no quiero.

Erklärung

Placement is rigid: no + (pronouns) + verb — no entiendo, no te escucho, no me lo dijeron. Nothing else fits between no and the verb group.

There is no do-support or special question form: ¿no vienes? In compound tenses no precedes haber: no he terminado. Answer pattern: No, no puedo — the first no answers, the second negates the verb.

Beispiele

No tengo tiempo esta semana.
