Négation

To form a negative sentence we use the words ne and pas. We place ne before the verb and pas just after it.

The formula for negative sentences is the following;

ne/n + verbe conjugated + pas

Je suis fatiguée.

Je ne suis pas fatiguée. 

Ne or n'?

“Ne” becomes “nʼ” before a vowel or a silent h.  However pas always stays the same.

Elle n'est pas contente.

Julie n’est pas inquiète.

"Je suis pas content.e !"

In spoken French, to make a sentence negative, people tend to drop the ne and only say pas after the verb. They are the sentence you're more likely to use when you speak.

Je ne suis pas content. (written French, more formal) ✍

Je suis pas content. (spoken French) 🗣

Sometimes we don't say ne....pas we just say non.

Non, je suid desole.
