Hi all,
I'm trying to teach myself the German language using Duolingo. Everything has made sense until now. I'm confused about where to place "nicht" in a sentence. I've looked at resources outside Duolingo and still can't figure it out. Here is the sentence that brought my lack of understanding to the front:
Ich kenne den Vogel nicht.
Could anyone help me understand why the sentence isn't:
Ich kenne nicht den Vogel.
Thank you.
