Negatives in Spanish
No – Nada – Nunca
Add ‘NO‘ in front of the verb to form the negative in Spanish.
E.g.:
No hay = There isn’t any
No soy = I am not
No como = I don’t eat
No juego = I don’t play
No es justo = It is not fair
NADA = Nothing
Put No in front of the verb + nada after it to talk about doing nothing or not doing anything.
E.g.
No hago nada = I do nothing /I don’t do anything
No veo nada = I see nothing/I can’t see anything
NUNCA = Never:
Put nunca in front of the verb or put no before the verb + nunca after it to talk about never doing anything.
E.g.
Nunca juego = I never play
No juego nunca = I never play
Jamás also means never. Use jamás instead of nunca as a more forceful way of saying never.
