To make a sentence negative in French, you usually need two words that wrap around the verb. The most common pair is 'ne' before the verb and 'pas' after it. Think of it as a 'not' sandwich.
Lesson#2
For example, to make the sentence 'Je travaille', meaning 'I work', negative, you place 'ne' before 'travaille' and 'pas' after it, to get 'Je ne travaille pas'.
Quiz#3
Using the 'ne...pas' structure, how do you say 'I do not work' in French?
Je ne travaille pas.
Quiz#4
How would you make the sentence 'Nous travaillons' negative?
Nous ne travaillons pas.
Lesson#5
If the verb starts with a vowel sound, like 'aime' in 'j'aime', the word 'ne' shortens to 'N' apostrophe. So, 'J'aime' becomes 'Je n'aime pas'.
Quiz#6
Translate into French: I don't like
Je n'aime pas.
