Positive statements don't have to have a positive meaning. It is possible to have a sentence that is positive grammatically with a negative connotation.
Example:
* I know you you will fail your test.
* We forgot to do our homework.
Negative states are statements that contain the word(s) not, don't, can't etc. Negative statements can be grammatically negative with a positive connotation.
Example:
* I know you didn't fail your test.
* We did not forget to do our homework
