How do you get someone to break the habit of saying double negatives?

Answer 1

By example. It is rude to correct adults' grammar. So you set an example. When you talk to them, use correct grammar in your speaking and hopefully it will rub off on them. Don't be too obvious about what you are doing. Don't offend anyone! Truthfully there isn't much you can do about other people's actions. Just set a good example. You ain't got nothing to lose. LOL ;-)

Answer 2

to break children's or anyone's habit of double negatives just simply correct them. at first they probably will get offended but in the long run they will be glad because you have taught them something new that they can use for the rest of their lives. when you correct their double negatives say the rule of double negatives and tell them that they are improper.

Answer 3

1. Politely tell them they have this habit. They may not be aware of it.
2.Tell them the consequences of the habit.
3. Ask them if they would like to break the habit.
4. Ask them how you could help them break the habit.
5. Choose to offer or not offer the assistance they request.

There is no distinction between adults and children when it comes to using manners and respect.
