Question 110

Which sentence creates a nonstandard double negative for an intended single-negative meaning?

  1. The caretaker doesn't never lock the side gate.Bonne réponse
  2. The caretaker never leaves any window open.
  3. The caretaker doesn't leave anything outside.
  4. Nobody leaves the side gate unlocked.

Explication

The defective sentence combines doesn't with never, although never already supplies the negative meaning. The standard alternatives use one negative element and pair it with an any-series form where needed.
