La négation (Negation)

  • In negative sentences, the indefinite articles (un, une, des) become de and d' before vowels and silent h.

Examples:

  • Elle a un stylo. (She has a pen.)
    Elle n'a pas de stylo. (She doesn't have a pen.)

  • Elle a des stylos. (She has pens.)
    Elle n'a pas de stylos. (She doesn't have pens.)

  • Elle a une règle. (She has a ruler.)
    Elle n'a pas de règle. (She doesn't have a ruler.)

  • Elle a des règles. (She has rules.)
    Elle n'a pas de règles. (She doesn't have rules.)

  • Il y a un étudiant. (There is a student.)
    Il n'y a pas d'étudiant. (There isn't a student.)

Note: This rule does not apply to the verb être.

For example, with the verb être:

  • C'est un stylo. (It's a pen.)
    Ce n'est pas un stylo. (It's not a pen.)

  • Ce sont des étudiants. (They are students.)
    Ce ne sont pas des étudiants. (They are not students.)

  • C'est de la soupe. (It's some soup.)
    Ce n'est pas de la soupe. (It's not some soup.)

The definite articles (le, la, les) remain unchanged after all negative forms.

Examples:

  • Elle a le stylo. (She has the pen.)
    Elle n'a pas le stylo. (She doesn't have the pen.)

  • Elle a les stylos. (She has the pens.)
    Elle n'a pas les stylos. (She doesn't have the pens.)

  • Elle a la règle. (She has the ruler.)
    Elle n'a pas la règle. (She doesn't have the ruler.)

  • Elle a les règles. (She has the rules.)
    Elle n'a pas les règles. (She doesn't have the rules.)
