Position Of Nicht In German Sentences | What are the rules? | Nicht explained! | YourGermanTeacher

The position of "nicht" in german sentences can be very confusing for German learners. A big problem for German students: Which place do you have to put the "nicht"? What is the position of "nicht"? In this video I will teach you the positioning of the negation word "nicht".
In general, "nicht" always precedes the sentence element you want to negate. But there is one exception, which is the verb. Because the verb is fixed on either the 2nd position or as a main verb on the last position, you need to put the "nicht" at the end, or if there are two verbs, in front of the main verb.
But this and many more other examples with rules and explanation you can find in this video. "Nicht" explained!
Viel Spass und bis bald

True!

[@cjordan7284]

Zwei. because rule #1: if you want to negate the whole sentence you put "Nicht" at the end of the sentence. I'm curious how long it would take a student in a traditional American classroom to learn what you're able to teach through your videos. The two of you have created something very special. You're an awesome teacher. Thank you.

[@yourgermanteacher]

🙏😊 thank you for your feedback.

[@EDUCACIONMORECAN]

I haven't found confirmation of the answer, but looking on the web, I think it's the first option, because you're negating 'gern' which is the 'liking' aspect.

Thank you Luzi for your awesome work and easy-to-understand teaching methods. I'll definitely be watching all your videos!

I am studying for A2 now, and your videos helped me a lot!!! more powers to both of you.

[@bccabernet]

I think I am still a bit confused (just less so than before the video). Without looking at any of the comments for hints.... Thank you for making these videos for those of us who really want to learn German, but are finding it difficult. And being in my mid-50s, it seems harder to learn than when I was younger! At first glance I would choose #2 because it appears we want to negate the whole sentence. I was taught if "I don't like the table", I would put nicht at the end. However, something tells me that #1 ist Richtig because what we really want to negate is "gern". So I am going with my gut and choosing Ich singe nicht gern for the win. Am I right?

[@yourgermanteacher]

Thats absolutely correct 💯💪😊

[@regienald4125]

[@rishiraj2548]

[@mardan5889]

Thank you for the lesson, it make perfect sense albeit you need some time to get use to it. My answer is number 2 (correct) since the negation is on the verb, and "singe" is the main verb whereas "gern" is more like an adverb. I think...
