Hello everybody, I hope you're having a lovely day and you are getting comfortable for the next instalment of French on a Windowsill. Here we are at episode 6! How have you liked the grammar hints so far? Is there anything you would like me to cover in the next video?

When you use the negation in a sentence, just follow this pattern:

Je ne travaille pas à Londres. (I don't work in London).
Alexandre ne sort jamais. (Alexandre never goes out.)
Il n'y a plus de pain. (There is no more bread.)
These are the three main forms of negation in French.
