When we use these at the beginning of the clause, we invert the subject and verb:…Negation: emphasising When we want to emphasise something negative, we often use at all. We normally use at all immediately after the word or phrase we are emphasising:…Negation ofthink,believe,suppose,hope When we use verbs like think, believe, suppose (mental process verbs) to express uncertainty about something, we usually use not with the mental process verb rather than with the verb in the following clause:…Examplesofnegatednegated In English, many past and present participles of verbs can be used as adjectives.
