Rewrite each sentence, changing the positive words to negative ones.
1. Leyó algunos libros de Vargas Llosa el año pasado.
2. También leyó algunas novelas de Gabriel García Márquez.
I tried ningun and ningunos for both and it didn't work.
When you are asked to write a negative sentence, don't forget the "double negative" written this way.
1. No leyó ningún libro de Vargas, etc.
There is another choice and that is to put the stronger negative (not "no") first = Ningún libro leyó de Vargas, etc.
The word ningún means "not even one" so notice I made #1 singular.
2. No leyó tampoco (if you are to change ALL positive words) ninguna novela de GGM.
OR = Tampoco leyó ninguna novela de GGM.
Be sure to ask questions about anything you do not understand above.

To rewrite the sentences with negative words, you can use "ni un" and "ninguna" in the context of the sentences given.
1. No leyó ni un libro de Vargas Llosa el año pasado.
2. Tampoco leyó ninguna novela de Gabriel García Márquez.
To rewrite each sentence and change the positive words to negative ones, you can use the word "ningún" or "ninguna" in Spanish. However, in these particular sentences, the positive words are referring to a quantity ("algunos" and "algunas") rather than a specific noun. In this case, you would use "ninguno" and "ningunas" to transform the sentences into negative ones.
Here are the rewritten sentences:
1. No leyó ningunos libros de Vargas Llosa el año pasado.
Explanation: The original sentence "Leyó algunos libros de Vargas Llosa el año pasado" means "He/She read some books by Vargas Llosa last year." To make it negative, we replace "algunos" (some) with "ningunos" (none).
2. Tampoco leyó ningunas novelas de Gabriel García Márquez.
Explanation: The original sentence "También leyó algunas novelas de Gabriel García Márquez" means "He/She also read some novels by Gabriel García Márquez." To make it negative, we replace "algunas" (some) with "ningunas" (none).
Note: Make sure to pay attention to the gender agreement when changing the noun from positive to negative. In this case, since both "libros" and "novelas" are masculine plural nouns, we use "ningunos" and "ningunas" respectively.
