Interesting about English

Today, I listened to Masquerade from Phantom of the Opera, and one line caught my attention: 'I know nothing’. And this sentence makes me really interested because the sentence means she knows that she knows nothing. My explanation looks weird but 'nothing' contradicts the before sentence. So until the end of the sentence, the audience doesn't know she knows or not. Something related, I like 'I have nothing', 'I have nowhere to go', 'I have no idea'. These sentencea are probably common, but interesting to me as an English learner.

Interesting thing about English

Today, I listened to 'Masquerade' from Phantom of the Opera, and one line caught my attention: 'I know nothing.

quotes for shorter works like songs ("Phantom of the Opera" would be italicized)
period goes inside quotes always (in US) or when quoting complete sentence (in UK)

And this sentence makes me really interests med because ithe sentence means she knows that she knows nothing.

if it made you interested, it would have to interest you *in* something

My explanation looksounds weird, but 'nothing' contradicts the beforeprevious sentence.

So until the end of the sentence, the audience doesn't know whether she knows or not.

Something related, sentences I like are 'I have nothing', 'I have nowhere to go', 'I have no idea'.

probably a typo :)

Feedback

yes, sentences with negatives are pretty common in, I think, all languages :)

Thank you for your feedback!! hmm, I will use 'whether' next time!!

Today, I listened to Ma masquerade from Phantom of the Opera, and one line caught my attention: 'I know nothing.'

NOTE: In American English, periods always come *before* end-quotes.

And this sentence makesde me really interested because the sentence meanit implies sthe knows that shheroine knowsew nothing.

My explanation looks weird but 'nothing' contradicts the before sentence.To me, the word 'nothing' seemed weird in this context.

So until the end of the sentence, the audience doesn't know she knows orew or something not.

Something related, I likeOn a related note, are the phrases 'I have nothing', 'I have nowhere to go', 'I have no idea'.'

MY GUESS These sentencea ares probably common, buthave similar meanings, but they are interesting to me as an English learner.
