To make a sentence or question negative, place ne in front of the conjugated verb and pas (or one of the other negative adverbs) after it. Ne... pas translates roughly as "not."Je suis riche - Je ne suis pas riche. I'm rich - I'm not rich.Êtes-vousfatigué ? - N'êtes-vous pas fatigué ? Are you tired? - Aren't you tired?In compound verbs and dual-verb constructions, the negative adverbs surround the conjugated verb (except for nulle part [see page 2], which follows the main verb).Je n'ai pas étudié. I didn't study.Nous n'aurions pas su. We wouldn't have known.
