Build and read plain negative forms for verbs, nouns, and adjectives so casual Japanese feels much more readable.
The plain negative of a verb usually ends in ない. The plain past negative usually ends in なかった. These are essential for informal conversation and reading.
今日は学校へ行かない。
I am not going to school today.
行かない is the plain non-past negative and can mean 'am not going' or 'won't go' from context.
