"The forest does not have wolves" Can this answer be accepted?

"The wolf is not in the forest" is not accepted. Should it be?

Is not in would be 안 있다 or 있지 않다. Very similar meaning, but not the same

I don't think you can negate 있다 that way. You'd use 없다. 늑대가 숲에 없어요.

I learned that if the particle is 이/가 the the sentence is "there is/isn't..." And if the particle is 은/는 then the sentence is " is/ is not in the "

I think Wolfs should be a typo, the meaning was known.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/EricThomse1

You're probably right, since the rules for making plurals of English nouns ending in F are not straightforward. (Either just add S or drop the F and add VES [and some words such as "dwarf" can go both ways]. Unfortunately, you have to memorize which words go which way.)

"Wolfs" is a real word, by the way. It is the third person present tense form of the verb "to wolf", meaning to devour (food) greedily. "Instead of taking her time to enjoy it, she wolfs [down] her breakfast every morning."

why isn't just "wolf" accepted? there's no plural of wolf


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/chanbyeol

well, i typed "there is no wolf in the woods", is it because grammar or because the word "woods" isnt valid.

Is "There is no wolves in the forest" not used in english?????


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/EricThomse1

You have a subject-verb disagreement. Since "wolves" is plural, you must use "are" instead of "is". Either "is no wolf" or "are no wolves" would work.

I read the sentence as "There are no wolve soups" i'm really sorry
