CZ_Zidane 11/11/17 6:06:41 PM #9:	Why not? It is possible... if someone uses the net via cellphone for example, s/he really does not have a computer to turn off :-) Or it is like "family computer" where "the last one using it" turns it off, why not? <cite>CZ_Zidane posted [p:890203224] in "I ev...

Putting "even" before the verb is like, slightly unconventional at worst. Maybe the "don't have" thing? I am not English native speaker (the CZ prefix in my nick means Czech) and when I started learning English twenty-five years ago, the teacher told us, that "English language uses DO NOT/DON'T when you want to form a negative, but the HAVE word is an exception and forms a negative without DO NOT, you have to say "I have not/haven't, not I do not have"... as far as I know the "do not have" thing is from American English, so maybe "there is a mistake" if you think in British English? <cite>CZ_Zidane posted [p:890325670] in "I ev...

SushiSquid 11/13/17 5:46:47 PM #12:	Technically, in English we negate verbs with just the word not and the conjugated verb. As a matter of style, though, we use do not with to do being conjugated and the desired verb as an infinitive. Using either is correct, and whether one feels awkward is a matter of style and personal taste. If in doubt, do not is safe, even when using it with to do, because we do actually say "I do not do that" in English. I even don't have a computer... is perfectly fine grammatically, but it's really awkward sounding stylistically. I could say "I have not a computer" and that's weird, but fine. I'm more likely to say "I do not have a computer" instead. The placement of the word even is... well it's odd, but again it's not technically incorrect. Just odd. <cite>SushiSquid posted [p:890326493] in "I ev... [t:75977203]...</cite> <quote>Technically, in English we negate verbs with just the word not and the conjugated verb.
