Important Grammar Note!
Remember, if you're using a negative in French next to a vowel or 'h', it becomes 'n''.
For example:
-
Je n'ai rien=I have nothing/I don't have anything
-
Je n'y habiterais jamais=I would never live there
-
Je n'ai ni un pantalon ni une chemise=I don't have trousers, nor a shirt
Once you know this, negatives will be a walk in the park!
