Hardly, Barely, Rarely, Seldom, Etc.
Remember that it is incorrect to use two negatives together in English grammar. This is called a double negative and is unacceptable. The words in the chart below have negative meaning therefore they must be used with a positive verb.
| INCORRECT There is hardly no bread left. She doesn’t seldom sleep well. | CORRECT There is hardly any bread left. She seldom sleeps well. |
| hardly barely scarcely | means almost nothing, or almost not at all |
| rarely seldom hardly ever | means almost never |
Martha hardly slept last night because of all the construction noise.
The kids barely arrived to the movie on time.
Anna scarcely thinks about her old boyfriend.
Our children rarely come to visit us these days.
Scott seldom gets headaches since taking the new medicine.
We hardly ever go bowling in the summer.
