Negative Sentences
-
In French, negative sentences are constructed by placing the particle
"ne" in front
of the verb and the particle "pas"
after the verb:
| Je ne mange pas |
I don't eat |
| Elle ne court pas |
She doesn't run |
| Mon frère ne vient pas |
My brother doesn't come |
If the verb is a compound verb, then you place the two particles
in front and behind respectively, of the auxiliary verb:
| Je ne suis pas allé |
I have not gone |
| Elle n'a pas mangé |
She has not eaten |
| Mon frère n'est pas venu |
My brother has not come |
- With negative question, you start with the particle "ne"
followed by the verb, then the subject and then the particle "pas":
| Ne manges- tu pas avec
nous ? |
Are you not eating with us? |
| Ne vient- elle pas avec lui ? |
Is she not going with him? |
| Ne regardes-tu pas la télévision
? |
Are you not watching the television?
|
- To answer a question with a negation, you start with the particle
"non" followed by the negative sentence:
| Viens- tu avec nous ? |
Non, je ne vais pas avec vous |
| Mange-t-il avec son père ? |
Non, il ne mange pas avec son père |
| Regardes- tu la télévision ? |
Non, je ne regarde pas la télévision |
