negation
SentenceSpanish allows (and requires) double negation: `no … nunca / nada / nadie / ninguno / tampoco / jamás`. Single `nunca` etc. is fine if it precedes the verb.
Examples
No veo nada.
→ I don''t see anything.
Double negation is required, not a mistake.
Nunca como carne.
→ I never eat meat.
Pre-verbal `nunca` — no `no` needed.
Yo tampoco.
→ Me neither.
tampoco = also not.
