use of perfect
hello,
i have a really big problem with the negativation of arabic sentenses in perfect, so, how do i negate the sentense "كنت قد كتنت كتابا في الشتاء" > like this: "كنت لم افعل؟" or
لم اكن افعل؟
and what about "اكون قد فعلت" is it "كنت لا افعل" or "لا اكون قد فعلت" ? and when do i use which form? that's a bit difficult for me, thanks for help :)

Edit :
I am not an Arabic teacher or a real expert in Arabic language, but Arabic is my native language. From my point of view i see that the two sentences "I wrote a book in winter" and "I have written a book in winter" are both translated to "كتبت كتاباً في الشتاء" and negated like "لم أكتب كتاباً في الشتاء " but if you are trying to say something like "I haven't been writing all winter" you say it like "لم أكن أكتب طوال الشتاء" hope that was helpful and not too far off your point

the words that indiacte past can be perfekt words :
Vergangen Winter = الشتاء المنصرم = perfekt word
verp in past = كتبت
the sentence: قد كتبت في الشتاء المنصرم كتابا

In Arabic language , there is no clear perfekt like in English and German
in order to use perfekt you should :
put the verb in past form + some words that indicate perfekt in Arabic
for example : verb رأيت - يرى
perfekt words للتو - منذ برهة - قبل قليل
and now the sentence : رأيت منذ برهة سيارة جميلة (Ich habe schönes Auto gesehen)
