How to Avoid Double Negatives​?

Hi, Maria! That is a great question! To fix the double negative in the sentence, you'll remove one of the negatives to make the meaning clear:

Corrected sentence:
"I don't need any help with my homework."

Explanation:

• "Don't" is already a negative word, so using another negative like "no" creates a double negative, which can make the sentence confusing.
• Replace "no" with a positive word like "any" to avoid the double negative.

Here are more examples to help you understand how to rewrite sentences to avoid double negatives:

1. Original sentence: I can’t find no pencils in my bag.
   Corrected sentence: I can’t find any pencils in my bag.
2. Original sentence: She doesn’t want nothing to eat.
   Corrected sentence: She doesn’t want anything to eat.

Thank you and let me know if you have other questions! 😊
