Él no pide consejos: He does not ask any advice.
When nadie and ninguno, or any other =negative word=, as the adverb nunca (never), etc., precede a verb, no other negative is required; but when they =follow= it, =no= (not) must precede the verb, as: No he visto á nadie or á nadie he visto: I have seen nobody.
[Footnote 109: Same difference between nadie and ninguno.]
[Footnote 110: In Spanish the singular is found instead of the plural, as: ¿Tiene V. algún libro que prestarme? (have you any books to lend me?).]
Verbs ending in car or gar change the c and g into =qu= and =gu= respectively before =e=, as—
