Hello everybody,
Which is the correct way of agreeing with a negation? We were taught that a negative verb can be followed only by EITHER, and that such sentences never take ALSO/TOO/AS WELL there.
E.g.: I don't like fish EITHER. (NOT: I ALSO don't like fish. (OR) I don't like fish, TOO / AS WELL).
E.g. This rule doesn't explain the newly-discovered tendency EITHER. (NOT: This rule ALSO doesn't explain the newly-discovered tendency. (OR) This rule doesn't explain the newly-discovered tendency, TOO / AS WELL).
Do I understand it right or have I got it wrong somewhere? Can we never use ALSO / TOO / AS WELL with negative verbs? Are the examples in brackets incorrect, or do we simply use them in different situations?
Thank you so much for your help in advance!
