Is the sentence below, "total negation" or "partial negation"?
All of the students don't like apples.
Does it mean:
1. Some of the students like apples.
or
2. No students like apples.
A teacher told me it's "partial negation." I am confused about the usage of "all" in negative sentences.
Thank you.
