I'm having trouble understanding the concept of a 'double negative'. Can you help me understand this?

Double negatives are confusing, but they're actually quite simple. A double negative is when you have two negative words in a row. For example, "I didn't do anything" or "I don't want to go." These types of sentences can be tricky because it's hard to know which word is being negated. To make things easier, try replacing one of the negative words with an opposite-meaning positive word like "good," "nice," "happy," etc. This will help you figure out which word is being negated and therefore what the sentence means.
