As noted above under , a finite indicative verb (or its clause) is negated by placing the word "not" after an auxiliary, modal or other "special" verb such as "do", "can" or "be". For example, the clause "I go" is negated with the appearance of the auxiliary "do", as "I do not go" (see "do"-support). When the affirmative already uses auxiliary verbs ("I am going"), no other auxiliary "verbs" are added to negate the clause ("I am not going"). (Until the period of early Modern English, negation was effected without additional auxiliary verbs: "I go not.")
