change the verb ending to ～ません.

いきます (ikimasu) → いきません (ikimasen)
= I go → I don’t go
のみます (nomimasu) → のみません (nomimasen)
= I drink → I don’t drink

QUICK TIP
Use ～ません for polite negatives.
Just replace ～ます with ～ません to make it negative.
→ Example: のみます → のみません (drink → don’t drink)
Don’t forget verb type matters in plain form.
Different rules apply depending on whether the verb is う, る,
or irregular when forming negative casually.
い-adjectives change to ～くない to be negative.
→ たかい (expensive) → たかくない (not expensive)
