negative emphasis

NEGATIVE EMPHASIS
Negatives answer the question “how often? “. They’re used at the beginning of a statement to express emphasis.
Negatives word:


·         Not one

·         Not once

·         Not until

·         Never

·         Never again

·         Only rarely

·         Very seldom

( negative word ) + Auxiliary + Subject + verb

 
 Notes : 
  •   Auxiliary must agree with verbs and subject
  • Avoid using a subject before the auxiliary in this pattern
  • Maintain parallel structure
