Choosing the Correct Negative

In this worksheet, students compare pairs of sentences that express the same idea-one containing a double negative and one that does not. Learners circle the letter of the sentence that uses correct standard English. This activity reinforces students’ ability to distinguish incorrect constructions from proper ones and helps them internalize correct negative usage. It also builds critical thinking as students evaluate sentence meaning and choose the clearest option.
