知识点 7

Avoid double negatives and other usage errors that distort meaning.

核心知识

A negative sentence usually needs only one negative marker. Adding another can reverse or blur the meaning.

深入理解

Rule: Double negatives often sound emphatic in speech, but ACT treats them as errors in standard written English unless the sentence is intentionally using a nonstandard voice.

  • When you already have "not," "never," or "didn't," the next word is often "any" rather than another negative word like "no" or "none."
