Decide if the following sentence is grammatically CORRECT or INCORRECT.Ich habe nicht ein Buch.

The usual way to negate an indefinite noun in German is to use kein, which means “no” or “not a”: “Ich habe kein Buch” (“I don’t have a book”). “Ich habe nicht ein Buch” is not the standard form for this meaning, so the sentence is incorrect in this context.
