ne…plus
no longer
Je ne vais plus au supermarché le samedi.
I no longer go to the supermarket on Saturdays.
THE GRAMMAR
Note how this construction must be placed around the verb. The ne comes before the verb, and plus follows it. As sentences become more complicated, ne…plus functions exactly like ne…pas from yesterday’s example.
THIS WEEK
Last week, we looked at words that were all about possibilities. But let’s face it. Nothing can be possible, or positive, all the time. So, this week we’re giving everyone permission to be negative — in French! We’re looking at some of the most common negative words and sentence structures.
