Sentence Analysis

A negative movement sentence using no as 不 rather than the question mapping.

Sentence Analysis

Chinese semantic order 现在 / 我 / 不 / 去 produces Now / I / no / go. Because this is a negative statement, no selects primary 不 and go selects primary 去; the 吗 profile is invalid here. Natural English adds am and -ing and places now last, changes confined to the reference layer.
