This one might seem a little tricky at first but let’s break it down. In Spanish, to make a verb negative, you add the word 'no' before it. The 'no' is the same as 'not' in this case. Now, what verb tense is bounce? What word comes before no? It is the preposition of 'to'. If you remove the negative it leaves you with 'to bounce'. You know that when this happens then the verb should appear in its base form. The Spanish base word for 'to bounce' is saltar. It is an AR verb.
