Up to two or three centuries ago all verbs could form
their own negative merely by adding "not":

"I know not why I am so sad." (Shakespeare, "Merchant of
Venice")

I like not nut's nutting.

Theoretically, you could adhere to the old ways and
construct your negatives this way, and you would be
understood perfectly well.
These days only some verbs, called special finites, or
auxiliary verbs, can do that (be, have, can, will etc.)
