部分否定形を使ってみよう

The Partial Negative Form
部分否定形を使って講師と会話してみましょう。
部分否定とは、「必ずしも・完全には〜というわけではない」という表現です。 notの後にallやtotallyなど「全部」や「完全に」といった表現を加えると、 「全部じゃない」「完全じゃない」という表現になります。 【回答例】 Not all of us agreed with him. 私たち全員が彼に賛成した訳ではないよ Your answer is not totally wrong. 君の答えは完全に間違ってるって訳じゃない
Please use a partial negative form.

I don't like all of his characteristics.
am not always kind to them.
I don't quite agree with his proposals.

2. describing what you are "am" is needed. what you are not, "am not" is needed
3. we say "agree with something"

I think the partial negative form is not quite difficult in grammatically.
Of course, it does not apply all people.
Don't you completely disagree with me?

Although we have studied English from elementary school, not everyone can speak English well.
We don't have to use English all the time in our daily life.

1. we can make this clearer by adding an article ("the boss" - referring to a specific boss understood in the context) or a determiner (my boss, his boss, their boss)
2. article not needed in this case
3. or "We don't have to always use English in our daily life" or "It is not an absolute necessity to use English in our daily life"
