**Tip:** Look what word class do the words belong to. Most of the time, they are either an interrogative pronoun or conjunction, but also other types of words.

***Who** serves the food? — **No one** is here.*

In this sentence, the interrogative pronoun *”quién” (who)* is used. To give a negative answer to *”quién,”* we use *”nadie” (no one)*.

***¿quién? — nadie***

*Is there soup **or** fish? — There is **neither** one **nor** the other.*

If someone asks a question, “Is there x *or* y?”(¿Hay x o y?) you will give a negative answer using “*neither* x *nor* y” (*ni* el x *ni* el y).

***¿x o y? — ni el x ni el y***

*Do you have **something** with broccoli? — No, there is **nothing** (with broccoli).*

If someone asks a question with *”something” (algo)*, you will give a negative answer using *”nothing” (nada)*.

***¿algo? — nada***

*Do you **always** have meat? — No, I **never** do.*

This sentence illustrates opposite adverbs. You can give a negative answer by using a word that has an opposite meaning (an antonym.)

***¿siempre? — nunca***

***There is no** meat, **is there** chicken? — **Neither./Neither of those./That neither.***

When someone asks for x, but there is none, then they will ask if there is y. You can give a negative answer that will cover both x and y by using the word *”tampoco”* (it can be translated in more ways, as shown in the upper line.)

***no x, ¿y? — tampoco***

1. E
2. A
3. C
4. B
5. D

**N.B.** Unlike in English, double negation is allowed in Spanish.

1. nada
2. nadie
3. ni
4. tampoco
5. ningunos

Since we have a noun *la película*, we had to add *-a* at the end of *”ningun.”*

Because double negatives are not allowed in English, we had to translate it as *”any.”*

Again, double negatives are not allowed in English, so we had to adjust our translation and use *”anything.”*

When we talk about people, we use *”nadie.”*

1. ninguna
2. nada
3. Nadie
