Answer Question
Level 3 - Lesson 28, nicht/kein negates the part that comes after it
-the tldr at the bottom above the image-
Or in the tutorials word "before the word it negates"
So I don't think this is something that works in English (English also isn't my first language fwiw but I am NOT here trying to 1:1 German to English but rather trying to understand if I am missing something to make my brain think easier), so help me here understand this, the example would be:
- Wir gehen nicht morgen ins Schwimmbad, sondern übermorgen.
So what that means it if I place "Nicht" before "ins" instead that would mean the thing we negate in the sentence is the destination, right? So it will be:
- Wir gehen nicht morgen nicht ins Schwimmbad, sondern ins Kino.
And finally if I want to negate the entire sentence I would place nicht at the end:
- Wir gehen morgen ins Schimmbad nicht. (I don't know if I can follow it up with "sondern im hotel bleiben").
TLDR: Okay the main question here if I got everything correctly is look at the image below and tell me if I am missing something in this exercise:
So from the image above, how would I know from the English phrase alone which part it is negating?
Thanks sincerely!
