Double Negatives and Opposites
I have to: 're-escribe las frases que siguen con sus formas opuestas' and use double negatives in my answers. We haven't even gone over this in class yet, nor do I find it in my textbook. The first example is this:
- Los chicos reciclan sus botellas de soda siempre después de beber. (The boys recycle their bottles after drinking.)
How do I write the "opposite" of this, and how do I use double a double negative? I am very frustrated with my instructor right now b/c she just expects us to do this on our own without any lecture or prior help.

Los chicos reciclan sus botellas de soda siempre después de beber.
So you need to use the negative of the verb, and the opposite of the frequency adverb
(teacher speaking, jeje)
Los chicos no reciclan sus botellas de soda nunca después de beber.
Los chicos no reciclan sus botellas de soda después de beber nunca.
