Question

Explain why the negation of “Some students in my class use e-mail” is not “Some students in my class do not use e-mail”.

Answer 1

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Some students in my class use e-mail.

It is a type of 'E' statements.

Its negation should be No students in my class use e-mail.

Because if we use "Some students in my class do not use e-mail”.

It also implies some students in my class still use e-mail.

But negation contains only opposite of given statement.

So, Some students in my class do not use e-mail” is not true.
