How do you conjugate french words negative?

Answer 1

To make a phrase in French negative, simply use the two words "ne"(pronounced "nuh") and "pas"(pronounced "pa"). For a conjugated verb, the ne is placed before the verb, and the pas after it.

For example, to say "She is beautiful," the sentance is "Elle est beau." The verb is être, meaning "to be", and in this sentence is conjugated "est" for elle. To say "She is not pretty," insert the "ne" and the "pas" to make the sentence "Elle n'est pas." In this case you drop the "e" in the ne because the verb starts with a vowel(French vowels are all the english ones plus "h").

If you would like to make an infinitive verb(unconjugated verb) negative, simply place both the "ne" and "pas" before the verb. So the phrase "To be or not to be" translates as "Être ou ne pas être."

Answer 2

To conjugate French verbs in the negative form, you typically place "ne" before the verb and "pas" after it. For example, "Je ne parle pas" (I do not speak). Other negative expressions like "plus" (anymore), "jamais" (never), and "rien" (nothing) can also be used in combination with "ne" to create negative sentences.
