Negative Sentences in French

La forme négative in French involves specific structural changes to affirmative sentences. This section explores the transformation of positive statements into their negative counterparts.

Highlight: In French negative sentences, the indefinite article un,une,desun, une, des changes to "de" or "d'" in the negative form.

Examples of negative sentence transformations:

  • Je bois de l'eau → Je ne bois pas d'eau
  • Je mange du riz → Je ne mange pas de riz
  • Je mange de la salade → Je ne mange pas de salade
  • Je mange des pommes → Je ne mange pas de pommes

Example: "Je bois du café" IdrinkcoffeeI drink coffee becomes "Je ne bois pas de café" IdontdrinkcoffeeI don't drink coffee in the negative form.

These examples demonstrate how la négation en français affects articles and partitive expressions in sentences.

The Pronoun "En" in French

Le pronom EN is a versatile pronoun in French that replaces nouns to avoid repetition. It typically means "of it" or "of them" and is placed after the subject but before the verb in a sentence.

Definition: "En" is used to replace expressions of quantity or nouns preceded by "de" or partitive articles.

Examples of using "en":

  • J'ai deux enfants → J'en ai deux IhavetwoofthemI have two of them
  • Elle a bu du café → Elle en a bu ShedranksomeofitShe drank some of it

Vocabulary: "En" can replace various expressions including "de + noun", "du", "de la", "de l'", and "des".

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀
