Spanish allows the use of double, and triple negatives expression in a sentence.
- Juan no necesita nada. (correct)
- No tengo nada que hacer. (correct)
Let’s look at some examples of sentences that use more than one negative expression:
- No tienes nada que hacer.
You don’t have anything to do. - Ese niño no se lleva bien con nadie.
That boy doesn’t get along well with anyone. - Gabriel nunca ha contribuido nada a la clase.
Gabriel has never contributed anything to the class. - Nunca debes hablar con ningún extraño.
You should never speak to any stranger. - ¿No tienes nada que decir?
Don’t you have anything to say?
