any good examples in syllabus helping understand ‘NEGATE' strategy in NA questions?

I am currently still so frustrated to deal with NA questions,
and i think i still haven't figured out how to practice negate strategy in POE.
Does anyone know the most helpful videos or any sources to parse it out or just help me make them clear?

Thanks a lot!

    If negating the answer choice would completely ruin the argument then that is a required assumption of the argument. Hopefully this helps :)

    Negation would be the opposite of what the statement says.

    John says he likes to eat out.
    Negate: John says he does not like to eat out.

    Maria is sick of eating broccoli.
    Maria is not sick of eating broccoli.

    No one likes to fish.
    Some do like to fish.

    Some chickens are cute when they talks.
    No chickens are cute when they talk.

    The only tricky thing would be when it’s some, all, most, none, etc, dealing with quantifiers. But other than that, you only negate an answer choice that you think might be the answer. You don’t negate every AC. I know you asked if there were any drills you could do but I just wanted to show you that negation can be a natural thing. I hope this helped!
