Question

The lyrics of “Another brick on the wall”, by the band Pink Floyd, has the following sentence:

“We don’t need no education”. There’s a grammar mistake in it, which alternative explains best that mistake?

A) The verb “need” doesn’t ask for a modal verb, the negative clause should be by its side.
B) The modal verb shouldn’t be “do”, “can” would make more sense.
C) There’s a double negative created by the words “not” and “no”.
D) None of the above.

Answer 1

Vou responder porque eu amo o Pink Floyd


C) There’s a double negative created by the words “not and “no”.

No inglês nós não usamos o “não” duas vezes como no português, é necessário apenas um não na frase.

Então fica assim: we don’t need education ou we need no education
