Double Negative Check Answer Key

Students carefully read each sentence and decide whether it contains a double negative. They write “X” if the sentence includes a double negative and “OK” if the sentence is correct. This activity reinforces students’ ability to detect problematic negative constructions in written English. By distinguishing between correct and incorrect usage, students develop stronger proofreading skills. The worksheet also helps students understand how double negatives can confuse meaning or create unintended emphasis.
