Michael said, “I do not want bad health and poor energy.” Use the negative form to write about something that you don’t want, and use the negative form to describe its problems. For example, “I do not want to use bad English grammar for the rest of my life. Bad English grammar does not help the careers of people like me.” Add your comment
