| 6.8 Negation in Italian |
The negation of a sentence (I eat <=> I don't eat) is something very easy to do in every language, but not in English. In English you need an auxiliary or modal verb to negate a sentence and if there is none, you have to add one. In Italian that' s very simple, you put a 'non' in front of the verb and finish.
