Negative adverbs 1

Nunca, jamás, nada, nadie, ninguno — Spanish negative adverbs/pronouns: nunca/jamás (never), nada (nothing), nadie (no one), ninguno/a (none). When they follow the verb, add no before the verb (double negative is mandatory): No viene nadie. No hay nada. When they precede the verb, drop no: Nadie viene.

Tampoco — neither, not either — Tampoco is the negative equivalent of también (also). Use it to add agreement to a negative statement: Yo tampoco quiero ir (I don't want to go either). In short responses: No me gusta el café. — A mí tampoco. Never use también to agree with a negative statement.

Multiple negatives in one sentence — Spanish freely uses multiple negative words in a single clause — this is grammatically required, not a mistake: No llama nunca a nadie (He never calls anyone). No quiero nada de nadie (I don't want anything from anyone). Each negative word reinforces the negation rather than cancelling it out.
