I do not play tennis. (I don’t play tennis.) I am not playing tennis.(I’m not playing tennis.) Je ne joue pas au tennis.

  7. Les adverbes • Words used to modify verbs • Tell how often, how much, or how well Je nage bien. Je ne nage pas bien. Je veux bien nager. Subject +verb + adverb Subject + ne + verb + pas + adverb Subject + verb + adverb + infinitive NOTE: adverbs NEVER come between the subject and verb in French. Compare: Nous parlons toujours français. We always speak French. Tu joues mal au tennis. You play tennis badly.

  8. La construction: verbe + infinitif Note the forms of the infinitive in the following sentences: J’aime parler français. I like to speak French. I like speaking French. Ils n’aiment pas danser. They don’t like to danse. They don’t like dancing. To express what you like & don’t like, use these constructions: SUBJECT + n’ PRESENT TENSE + pas + INFINITVE… of aimer SUBJECT + PRESENT TENSE + INFINITVE… of aimer Nous aimons voyager. Nous n’aimons pas voyager. The infinitive should also be used after the following expressions: Je préfère Je voudrais Je (ne) veux (pas) Est-ce que tu veux Je (ne) peux (pas) Je dois I prefer I would like I (don’t) want Do you want I can (can’t) I must / have to Je préfère travailler.
