Niet en Geen
Use geen when negating a noun that has no article or would normally take een. Geen replaces een and also covers bare nouns (no article at all).
Use niet to negate verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositional phrases, and definite nouns (de/het + noun).
Niet goes at the end of the clause when negating the verb. It goes before adjectives, infinitives, and prepositional phrases.
