Sentence structure in negative sense with direct objects
According to the marking, I noticed the placement of "nicht" is at the end if the direct object of the sentence is singular whereas "nicht" goes after the verb if the direct object is plural.
i.e.
Ich esse die Orange nicht. vs Ich esse nicht die Orangen.
