The word &#8220;hardly&#8221; is a negative word, and the word &#8220;no&#8221; is also a negative word. When two negative words are used together, they cancel each other out, making the sentence mean the opposite of what it is supposed to mean. In this case, the sentence is supposed to mean that the man made very little profit. However, because of the double negative, the sentence actually means that the man made a lot of profit.<\/p>\n<p>To correct the sentence, we need to remove one of the negative words. In this case, we can remove the word &#8220;no.&#8221; The sentence would then read: After toiling very hard over a long period, he found that he had hardly made any profit. This sentence means that the man made very little profit, which is what we intended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on YouTube<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[707],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Find out whether there is any grammatical error in below sentence.
