Bernard M Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hello, We can say : "I don’t think I’ll go swimming today.", but can we also say : I think I won't go swimming today". Thank you for your help. Bernard Link to comment
Head Tutor Minoo Posted June 13, 2020 Head Tutor Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hello Bernard, While the second sentence is not grammatically wrong, it is not common at all. This is only the case with 'think'. With other verbs, you can make the second part negative: I don't think he'll go swimming. I hope he won't go swimming. I assume he won't go swimming.
