Lesson#1
Let's practice using the negation rules with the verbs and sentences you already know. We'll focus on saying what isn't true, what someone doesn't have, and what someone doesn't like.
Lesson#2
To say someone 'is not' something, you wrap 'ne...pas' around the verb 'être'. For example, 'Il est grand', becomes 'Il n'est pas grand'.
Quiz#3
Translate into French: My sister is not French.

Ma sœur n'est pas française

Quiz#4
Translate into French: They are not serious, referring to a masculine group.

Lesson#5
To say you 'do not have' something, you use 'ne...pas' around 'avoir' and change 'un' or 'une' to 'de'. For example, 'J'ai un frère' becomes 'Je n'ai pas de frère'.

Je n'ai pas de frère
