Una pregunta en negativo En esta frase: Have you got enough relationships to don't feel alone? Sé que la frase correcta sería: Have you got enough relationships not to feel alone? Pero no sé por qué. Quiero decir que no sé cuál es la base gramatical que lo explica, por lo que no puedo ver más ejemplos y hacer algunos ejerciocos para aprenderlo. Gracias por adelantado.

This is not about question forms. The error in your original sentence has nothing to do with the fact that it's an interrogative - it's all about infinitives. The positive infinitive is 'to feel'. The negative infinitive is 'not to feel'. That's all you need to know. Here are some more examples: Remember to shut the door = positive 'to shut' Remember not to shut the door = negative 'not to shut' Negative infinitives are often used in reported speech: 'Give the money to John.' = He told me to give the money to John. 'Don't give the money to John.' = He told me not to give the money to John. I hope that helps.
