Negation and "a nadie"

Question

I never see anyone either

I know I can't say "Yo no veo nunca a nadie tampoco". So, is the correct want of saying it: "Yo nunca veo a nadie tampoco"?

Also, why is there an "a" before nadie?

Answer 1

Both are correct, but the latter is more common and sounds better. The "a" is the personal "a." It's required when the direct object of a verb is a person. "Nadie" is just as much a person word as hombre or mujer or doctor, etc.
