Indefinite Pronouns
In standard English, you must not use two negatives in the same clause. Do not say "I don't know nothing" — say "I don't know anything" OR "I know nothing." The mistake of using two negatives (double negative) is understood in informal speech but considered incorrect in written or formal English.
