Document Summary

Negation of verbs: simple and compound tenses. Ne immediately follows subject, second word (pas, plus, jamais, rien, gu re, etc. ) comes after conjugated verb/auxiliary. When on is subject of negative verb that starts with vowel, do not have to put (cid:374)" before verb. Familiar oral language often omits ne ; not technically correct. Imperative and questions by inversion with pronoun subject. Ne goes at beginning of phrase (before pronoun objects); second part comes right after verb or after pronoun subject. Ne faites pas trop de bruit ; je travaille. If subject of question is name, ne goes after name. In inf. present, (cid:374)e pas, et(cid:272). always precedes verb. In inf. pass and passive, can go before inf. auxiliary or around it. Je pr f re ne pas prendre un caf le soir. (at night) Il a peur de ne pas tre accept or de (cid:374)" tre pas accept cette universit . Never use (cid:374)e pas before infinitive preceded by sans.
