Question

is "She couldn't hardly fit the book in her purse." Double Negative Incorrect Intensive Pronoun Slang
GPT 3.5
The sentence "She couldn't hardly fit the book in her purse" is an example of a double negative. The use of "couldn't" (which is a contraction of "could not") and "hardly" together creates a negative meaning. However, this sentence may be seen as incorrect or non-standard English because the two negatives cancel each other out, resulting in a positive meaning. A more standard way to express the same idea would be "She could barely fit the book in her purse." Additionally, the sentence does not contain an intensive pronoun or slang.
