11. Negative Sentence Structure

Expressing negation can be a challenge for many Chinese or any other language speakers. It is necessary for a student to learn the right way. Negation is differently expressed in English and Chinese. In English, you can say, “None of them are wearing bracelets.” In Chinese you say, “All of them don’t wear bracelets.” That is one of the common issues, and it found its place at No. 11 on our list.

Mistake Example:

“All students don’t have pencils.”

“They all don’t have cats.”
