@contrex,
Oh terrible flaw there... Sorry
The original sentence was " you don't want to break the faucet, do you?
modified sentence was "you want not to break the faucet, don't you?
I knew that tag questions were wrong.
Let's talk about this part.
#1 I want not to break the faucet
#2 I want to not break the faucet.
Question. are #1 and #2 grammatically okay???
I don't think so....
I know that any native eng users would find those sentences weird.
but I want to know a way to explain why.
I just told everyone that "I don't want to break the faucet" is correct negative form sentence.
When can we use 'not+to+V' or 'to+not+V' ?
and when we can't?
thanks for your attention. I really appreciate.
and that bet thing was just for a bottle of beer, don't worry. thanks
