To find the solution to \(-1 - \frac{1}{2}\), we need to perform the subtraction of these two numbers.

Here’s the step-by-step process:

1. Convert \(-1\) to a fraction: \(-1 = -\frac{2}{2}\).
2. Now, subtract \(\frac{1}{2}\) from \(-\frac{2}{2}\):
   \[
   -\frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{2 + 1}{2} = -\frac{3}{2}
   \]

Therefore, \(-1 - \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{3}{2}\).

If you prefer the decimal form:
\[
-\frac{3}{2} = -1.5
\]

### Solution:
\[
-1 - \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{3}{2} \text{ or } -1.5
\]
