Luckily, forming the negation in Spanish is straightforward. Forming the negation in Spanish is even easier than in English.
We simply add “no” in front of the verb (and before any object pronoun before the verb), e.g., “No juego al fútbol” (I don’t play soccer), “No lo quiero” (I don’t want it).
We can have a double negative in Spanish without changing the meaning to affirmative, e.g., “No lo hago nunca” (I never do it).
