Double Negative (1of 2)
Rule: Double negatives occur when two forms of
a negative word are present in the same clause.
Double negatives in a single clause cancel each
other out and transform the meaning into a
positive.
Example:
• Double Negative: I don’t want nothing.
• Translation: I want something.
Reflexive Pronoun (2 of 2)
Rule: A reflexive pronoun is a special kind of
pronoun. It is usually used when the object of a
sentence is the same as the subject. Each
personal pronoun (such as I, you, and she) has
its own reflexive form. (See chart from previous
weeks)
