Examples of sentences/translations that may help explain the use of an operator or the placement of parentheses

Post:

One concept I found most difficult in this lesson was embedding the logical operators, especially knowing where to place the negation () sign. Sometimes I'm not sure whether the negation should go in front of the whole statement or in front of each individual variable inside the parentheses, which can make translating sentences into symbolic notation confusing.

To try to understand this better, I've been going through the lesson videos and practicing the "check yourself" problems. Working through multiple examples has helped me see patterns in how the negation operator is applied, although I still get mixed up occasionally.

My main question is: Is there a clear rule or trick to know when to put the negation in front of the whole parenthesis versus in front of each variable inside it?
