Hello,
the following sentences confused me a lot.
Could you do me a favor?

(1) The classmates in my class didn't seem to notice I didn't wear the school uniform.

(2) The classmates in my class seemed not to notice I didn't wear the school uniform.

Is the usage of sentence (2) correct or not?

(2) is also correct, but probably used less often which is why it may not sound as natural as (1).

Hope this helps!

Hi Purple-meggy,

A more natural sentence might be:

My classmates didn't seem to notice that I wasn't wearing a school uniform.

or

My classmates didn't notice that I wasn't wearing a school uniform.
