    The document discusses negation patterns with verbs of opinion and verbs followed by infinitives. Specifically, it notes that we negate on verbs of opinion like think, believe, suppose, hope rather than actual action or state verbs. It also notes that negation is used even more with verbs followed by infinitives, and references sources that discuss negation with expect, hope, think and similar verbs.

    We tend to negate on verbs of opinion, not in the actual action or state verbs (section 1).

    Even more so with verbs followed by infinitives (section 4).

    Notes from Practical English in Use.

    Notes from Cambridge Grammar Today:


    - "Negation of think, believe, suppose, hope" https://diigo.com/0e77xi

    - This extends to So and not with expect, hope, think, etc.
