@Igirisujin My friend just started studying Japanese and wrote a sentence "私は学校へ行かない" for ”I go to school." So, I explained why she should not use ない in what she is trying to say.

@acb123: The way you would say this (I'm a language student (and have studied a little bit of japanese) so the proper terms are stuck in my head)
'If you want to make an affirmative (positive) sentence, then don't use the negative verb ending "ない"'

@acb123 I see, I know ない quite well.
The sentence for your friend would be:
"Don't put the denial form ない at the end of the sentence unless you want your sentence to be negative."
