Answer Question
two negatives in a sentence
SP 3:13 Write the Phrase You Read
I can't call the restaurant and (I) can't call my husband either. This is translated as Yo no puedo llamar al restaurante y tampoco puedo llamar a mi esposo.
I don't understand why use of the word neither/either (tampoco) eliminates the need to use the word can't. Why would the translation not be: Yo no puedo llamar al restaurante y no puedo llamar a mi esposo tampoco?
