==== ''Negation'' ==== | ==== ''Negation'' ==== | ||
There are two basic ways to negate | |||
;Negating the main verb | |||
:Negates the action but not the TAM | |||
:''You may not-work'' | |||
;Negating the coverb | |||
:Negates the TAM but not the action | |||
:''You may-not work'' | |||
The coverb needs not to be fully inflected, one may only negate mood, tense/aspect or both, allowing for sentences like ''I didn't use to need to take my medicines'' by negating only the tense on ''I needed to take my medicines'' | |||
