Hi everybody!
I need your help please. I've seen these following sentences written on an envelope:
" Ça ne devrait pas être une "vie de chien"...
" It really should be a "dog's life"...
I'd like to understand why they didn't use the negative form for the second one.
I'd be very glad if some teachers or somebody else could answer me.
Thanks a lot.
So long,

Hello,
Ça ne devrait pas être une "vie de chien"...
" It really should be a "dog's life"...
Je pense que la négation a été oubliée tout simplement :
it really shouldn't be.....
See you soon

Hi Lucille!
Thanks a lot for your answer. I appreciate it!
I was surprised when I saw these sentences because they had been written on a commercial envelop. I was wondering why. I'm curious and I always want to learn new things about English.
Have a nice weekend!
So long,
