Choose the sentence with the correct word order for negation.
The correct answer is "She does not like pizza." To form negative sentences, place the word "not" after the auxiliary verb (in this case, "does"). The main verb ("like") follows the negation "not".
Word Order
If your first language has flexible word order — Russian, Latin, German, Japanese — English can feel rigid. You can't just rearrange words for emphasis the way you would at home; the grammar tracks position, not just inflection. Get the order wrong and the sentence either changes meaning or stops making sense.
Word order is the sequence of words in a sentence. English is an SVO language — subject, verb, object. The order of adjectives and modifiers in a noun phrase also follows fixed patterns. Get this right and your English instantly sounds more natural.
Negation
If your native language uses double negatives (I don't see nothing) — like Russian, Spanish, or French — you've probably been told this is wrong in English and not been entirely sure what the fix is. Standard English uses one negative per clause: either I saw nothing or I didn't see anything, never both. Once you internalise that single rule, your written English clears up a lot.
Negation in English uses not after an auxiliary or modal verb: I am not going. Without an auxiliary, you add do-support (I do not go). Negative words like never and nobody already negate the clause — adding not on top creates non-standard double negatives.
A1 | Elementary | Beginners
If you can say your name, ask Where is the toilet?, and read a simple bus sign — but freeze when someone speaks at normal speed — you're at A1. That's not a problem to fix; it's the level where most learners actually live for a while, and recognising it lets you pick the right material instead of drowning in advanced grammar that wasn't meant for you yet.
A1 is the starting level of the CEFR framework, covering basic everyday communication: greetings, introductions, simple personal questions, present-tense forms of be/have/do, and core determiners and prepositions.
Difficulty: Easy
If a textbook leaves you confused, sometimes the issue isn't the topic — it's that the practice material is layered with extra complications. Filtering by Easy strips that away. You get one rule at a time, in plain everyday language, with no trick questions. It's how you make a shaky foundation solid before stacking more on top.
The Easy difficulty tag marks beginner-level questions and challenges — typically A1 or early A2. Single-rule focus, short sentences, common vocabulary, one clear correct answer.
