When you start learning how to make negative sentences in Italian, you might make some common mistakes. Here are a few of those mistakes and how to fix them:

1. Where to put "non":
   In Italian, we usually place "non" before the verb. For example, instead of saying "Io mangio non la pizza" (I don’t eat the pizza), you should say:

   • Correct: “Io non mangio la pizza.”

2. Using double negatives:
   In Italian, it’s normal to use double negatives. This means you can say things like “non...mai” which means "never." For example:

   • Correct: “Non ho mai visto quel film.” (I have never seen that movie.)

3. Not considering the context:
   The meaning of a sentence can change based on the situation. For example:

   • “Niente” (nothing) can help make your negation stronger: “Non ho niente” (I have nothing).

If you pay attention to these details, you’ll feel more confident using negative sentences in Italian!
