see that these Victoria
Lawns are of lower quality.
_Alguno_ and _Ninguno_ are left understood oftener than in English, as--
?Comprara V. (algunos) titulos de la nueva emision? Will you buy any
stock of the new issue?
El 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 a nadie _or_ a 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. algun 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--

[Footnote 111: The primary parts (except, of course, the Infinitive) will
be omitted in future _when they are regular_. The derivative parts will
also be omitted when they are _regularly formed from their primary
parts_ according to the rules given. See synopsis at the end of the
book.]
