Question

How would you rewrite the following sentence to make it correct?

I didn’t think none of you wanted to go along.

I didn’t think not none of you wanted to go along.

I thought none of you wanted to go along.

I thought not none of you wanted to go along.

I didn’t not think none of you would want to go along.

Answer 1

Here are clear, correct rewrites (with the meaning each one conveys):

- If you meant “I believed nobody wanted to go”:
- Correct: “I didn’t think any of you wanted to come along.”
- Also correct: “I thought none of you wanted to come along.”

- If you meant “I believed at least one of you did want to go”:
- Clear: “I thought at least one of you wanted to come along.”
- Or: “I didn’t think none of you would want to come along.” (grammatical but awkward; prefer the first.)

Avoid double negatives like “didn’t think none” or “not none,” which are confusing.
