Question 87

Which sentence adds an unnecessary second negative after the negative pronoun nobody?

  1. Nobody didn't sign the delivery sheet.Bonne réponse
  2. Nobody signed the delivery sheet.
  3. Nobody has signed the delivery sheet.
  4. Nobody was waiting by the loading dock.

Explication

Nobody already makes the clause negative, so pairing it with didn't creates a nonstandard double negative for the intended single-negative meaning. The grammatical alternatives use a positive verb with the negative pronoun.
