# Quantifier Negation When you negate a quantified statement, the quantifiers flip: "for all" (∀) becomes "there exists" (∃), and vice versa. For example, the negation of "all students passed" is "there exists a student who didn't pass," not "all students failed." The key insight is that to deny something is true for *everything*, you only need to find *one* counterexample, and to deny that *something* exists with a property, you must show *everything* lacks that property.
