In this lesson, I will explain to you some of the negation rules in Arabic and their common usage.

- This man doesn't work with us. هذا الرجل لا يعمل معنا
- They don't speak Arabic. هم لا يتكلمون العربية
- She doesn't know anything about the truth. هي لا تعلم شيئاً عن الحقيقة
(Lam) لم Negation for verbs in the past tense:
- These guys didn't attend the party yesterday. هؤلاء الرجال لم يحضروا الحفلة بالأمس
- We're sorry, we didn't tell you about that. نحن آسفون أننا لم نخبركم بالأمر:
- He didn't bring his cellphone with him. هو لم يجلب هاتفه الخلوي معه
(Lan) لــن Negation for verbs in the future tense:
- The workers won't come tomorrow. لن يأتوا العاملون غدا
- Smoking will not be allowed during the meeting. لن يسمح بالتدخين خلال اللقاء
- I won't help you, because I'll be busy tonight. لن أستطيع مساعدتكم، لأني سأكون مشغول هذه الليلة
