The negation adverbs they are those that are used to deny something that in the face of its omission would appear as positive. For example: no, never, ever.
The structure of the language assumes that it is not necessary to affirm the positive of what did happen, while it is necessary to express the negative when it comes to events that did not occur: the adverbs of negation acquire importance, since their absence would make the sentence it is understood exactly the other way around.
Adverbs of negation have certain typical characteristics of adverbs: they do not vary in gender and number and act as nuclei of circumstantial complements (in particular, circumstantial negation).
