A double negative contains two negative
words:He doesn't even know no
one. My sister used to play.. um
basketball.. but she doesn't no more .
They don’t have nothin.But no-one didn’t answered.

Correcting Double Negatives
The clause I don't have none contains two negative words—the contraction don't and the adjective none.
If you don't have none, then you do have some. To express a negative idea, you should use only one negative word.

Remember: In addition to such negative
words as never, no, none, and not, the words scarcely, hardly, and barely function as negatives and should not be used with other negative words in the same clause.
