English has many ways to say “no”.
“Let’s go outside. “No way! It’s raining”.
“Would you like some dessert? Are you kidding? But thank you.”
“Flash, do you want to go to the vet?” “By no means!”
“Will you join us at the movies later”? “I’ll pass this time”.
“Do you like cheese?” “Nope”.

I really don’t no why Flash asked me to do this lesson. I’m not a negative cat. Do I look negative?
