Can I say 'Magst du nicht Bäume?' instead of 'Magst du keine Bäume?' Can I say 'Magst du nicht Bäume?' instead of 'Magst du keine Bäume?' What sentence pattern and rules should I follow when using the word 'nicht'? ( sentences & questions) Its sometimes at the end of a sentence, but sometimes it just follows the verb. Thank you.
