Grammar Point: Negation

Negative sentences are formed by placing the word ne before the verb and pas after it, e.g.:Je ne travaille pas aujourd'hui ("I don't work today"). To mean "nothing/not anything", use ne + verb + rien (e.g.: Je ne veux rien); to mean "no one", use ne + verb + personne (e.g.: Il n'y a personne dans la salle).
Note that when speaking, the ne is often omitted.
