When we affirm or assert (that is, when we say that something is true) we normally use other words – for example some, somebody, once, sometimes, already. Compare:–Somebody telephoned.Did anybody telephone?–I've bought you something.I haven't bought you anything.–She's already here.Is she here yet?–I sometimes go to the theatre.Do you ever go to the theatre?–I met the Prime Minister once.Have you ever met the Prime Minister?Non-affirmative words are common not only in questions and negative sentences, but in other cases where we are not making affirmative statements – for example in if-clauses, after comparisons, and together with adverbs, verbs, prepositions, adjectives and determiners that have a negative kind of meaning.Let me know if you have any trouble.I wonder if she found anything.She writes better than anybody I know.He seldom says anything.I've hardly been anywhere since Christmas.He denied that he had ever seen her.Please forget that I ever told you anything about it.I'd rather do it without anybody's help.It's difficult to understand anything he says.Few people have ever seen her laugh.For information about particular non-affirmative words, search the Index for the words in question..Previous Next |
