Grammar
nothing after not
What's wrong with this sentence? If any, What should i say instead?
"I can't just cross my feet and do nothing!"
(as if for example I am worried about some threat.)
Somewhere else I read it is not possible to use "nothing" after a "not".
"I can't just cross my feet and do nothing!"
(as if for example I am worried about some threat.)
