Negation

If you want to create a negative sentence, you add a negating adverb 不 before the verb. It’s almost identical to English not, though it goes before instead of after the verb.

这不是我的姐姐
This is not my older sister.

This works for every verb except one: 有. This takes a special negation particle 没.


我们没有钱
We don’t have money.
