Which sentence is written correctly? A. Greg hasn't eaten none of his vegetables yet. B. The young boy never wanted nothing so bad in his life. C. Chantrice states that she didn't see nothing out of the ordinary. D. I haven't seen anybody to ask for directions.
D ?
Yes!
How is it the answer ? Can you please explain ?
Well A is nonsense B is nonsense C is nonsense XD
A better explanation.
This way I can probably answer the rest.
Oh okay well hmmm
Oh I hit 71!
Sorry I felt the need to announce that XD
It's okay. But is there a better explanation ?
The other sentences are double negatives. Double negatives in sentence constructing is EXTREMELY informal. Catchin' my Tokyo drift?
Greg hasn't eaten none of his vegetables yet. Replace none with any The young boy never wanted nothing so bad in his life. Replace nothing with anything Chantrice states that she didn't see nothing out of the ordinary. Replace nothing with anything
And yes they are double negatives XD
THANK YOU ! I should really do those home works properly... xD Thank you @TwiztTiez and @KyanTheDoodle !
Double negative: A double negative is the nonstandard usage of two negatives used in the same sentence so that they cancel each other and create a positive. In Shakespeare's day, double negatives were considered emphatic, but today, they are considered grammar mistakes.
