Ø La negation – (changing the sentence into negative form)
·        “Ne…pas”
·        “n’…pas” (ne changes to n’ in front of a word that starts with a vowel, most words beginning with h and y.)

Ne is placed before the verb and pas is placed after the verb.

1)               Je ne fume pas.
2)           Je ne parle pas.

8)          Je ne t’entends pas.

ATTENTION- If in negation pas is followed by indefinite article (un/une/des), the indefinite article changes to de/d’. However if the verb in the sentence is être , there will be NO change in the article.

Examples –

1)    J’ai un livre.                                      Je n’ai pas de livre.
2)    Il mange une glace.                       Il ne mange pas de glace.
