Put non directly before the verb and nothing else moves. Italian also keeps a double negative where English drops it, so non … niente and non … mai are correct and normal.
Examples
- Non è ancora l'una.
- It isn't one o'clock yet.
- La domenica non lavoro.
- On Sundays I don't work.
- No, non parlo tedesco.
- No, I don't speak German.
The mistake to avoid
Non goes before the verb, never after it, and never between the verb and its object.
Where this fits in
Numbers, days, time, Italian A1: Count, talk about days and months, give the time, and handle numbers in real situations.
