Negatives Grammar - Lesson 1/1

 

 

 

Lesson 1

 

  • Ne...pas=Do not/don't

  • Ne...jamais=Never

  • Ne...que=Only

  • Ne...plus=No longer

  • Ne...rien=Nothing

  • Ne...personne=Nobody/No-one

  • Ne...ni...ni=Neither...nor

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!
