What is a double negative?
A double negative is when two negative-meaning words are placed into a sentence. For example:
You haven't never eaten an egg roll?
How do we fix it?
Just use one negative of course! Kick the other one out! Choose your favorite or read which one sounds better. For example:
You haven't ever eaten an egg roll? OR
You have never eaten an egg roll?
