The ESL Teacher Kenn Podcast

In today's episode of "Intermediate English for Work and Travel," we explore the correct use of negative forms when dealing with two actions within the same sentence. We focus on Lesson 13 from our English Sentence Structure Book (Box A3, Exercise 7, pages 133-134; PDF pages 146-147).

We'll clarify the common mistake of misplacing the negation and guide you on how to properly negate the second action in a sentence. For example, instead of saying "George promised didn't go" or "George promised didn't going," you should say "George promised not to go."
