どこへも 行きません (doko e mo ikimasen) — don't go anywhere

「へも」+ negative — the pattern for "not going anywhere."

Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)

どこ + へ + も + Vません

Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)

Meaning

Need to say "I am not going anywhere"? どこ (where) + へ + も = どこへも, then a negative verb: どこへも行きません.

How to attach

  • Here も does not replace は like the も in Lesson 1 — it simply adds after へ (へも).
  • With a place name, も just means "also", so both work: 学校へも行きます (I go to school too), 学校へも行きません (I don't go to school either).

Watch out

The "must be negative" rule is only for a question word like どこ — どこへも行きます ❌.
