Double negatives
Many of the negative terms that are used in these sentences can be expressed in two ways in English. For example:

nadie -•➤ No one, anyone
ningún/a -•➤ Not one, no one, anyone
nunca-•➤ never, ever
nada-•➤ nothing, anything
Unlike English, Spanish allows for the use of double, and sometimes even triple negatives. For example, whereas, "I don't have nothing to do," is improper English, its equivalent in Spanish ('no tengo nada que hacer") is proper grammar. Let's look at some examples of sentences that use more than one negative expression:

Ese niño no se lleva bien con nadie.-•➤ That boy doesn't get along well with anyone.
Gabriel nunca ha contribuido nada a la clase.-•➤ Gabriel has never contributed anything to the class.
Nunca debes hablar con ningún extraño.-•➤ You should never speak to any stranger.
No hay nadie en este mundo que me pueda hacer cambiar de opinión.-•➤ There is no one in this world that can make me change my opinion.
¿No tienes nada que decir? -•➤ Don't you have anything to say?
