Until she apologizes, I would not speak to her vs Until she does not apologize, I would not speak to her

The first phrase, 'until she apologizes, I would not speak to her,' is correct. In English, the correct structure for expressing a negative condition with 'until' is to use the affirmative form of the verb after 'until.' The second phrase, 'until she does not apologize, I would not speak to her,' is not correct because it creates a double negative, which is not standard in English.
