Difference between sentences using 'hate'
Hello teachers,
I would like to ask about a small difference which is confusing me.
I don't hate practising football everyday.
I hate not practising Football everyday.
At the end, they both have the same meaning, don't they? what's the difference?
If there is any problem ,or the difference can be known by studying a certain lesson in grammar, will you tell which lesson is it? To focus on it.
Thanks in advance.

No. In the first, the speaker presumably practises every day. S/he does not hate this.
In the second, s/he does not practise every day.s/he hates this.
'Every day' is two words here.

Well, in the first one, it means that she loves the idea, but in the second one, she hates the idea s/he doesn't practise everyday?
Why 'at the end' is wrong?,though. is 'at the beginning' is the same as 'at the end'?

You do not necessarily love something if you don't hate it. Quote:

That's close.
