Negation
In this lesson, you will learn the especially important concept of “negation” among the sentence patterns in Part 1. Rather than memorizing words alone, the goal is to explain the system and reasons in your own words.
Key Point
不・非・無・莫 differ in the objects and strength of negation they express, and word order can also change whether the negation is total or partial.
