Hello,
Is the position of "not" correct in the following sentences?
1. He will not get used to living here.
2. He will get not used to living here
Top answer
Only the first sentence is correct. Place not after all modal auxiliaries: can, could, will, would, shall, should, may, might, must and ought: I may not go there. He should not do it.
