Negation is not particularly difficult in French, but there are some rules that should be remembered. However, it becomes more complicated with pass\u00e9 compos\u00e9. Let’s take a look together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic rules of negation in French<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The negation in French in the present tense has the following basic structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u27a0 SUBJECT<\/strong> + NE<\/strong> + VERB<\/strong> + PAS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u27a0 SUBJECT<\/strong> + N’<\/strong> (\u00e9lision) + VERB<\/strong> + PAS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples<\/span>:
– Je n’<\/strong>aime pas <\/strong>le poisson (I don’t like fish)<\/em>
– Il ne <\/strong>commence pas<\/strong> encore la le\u00e7on (He hasn’t started the lesson yet)<\/em>
– Nous ne<\/strong> cuisinons pas<\/strong> le soir (We don’t cook in the evening)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
