Les négatifs et l’interrogation
Grammaire

A. L’élision/La liaison
•When a verb begins with a vowel or
a silent h, “je” is shortened to j’ .
This is known as elision which means
that the vowel has been eliminated.
For plural forms, you will make a
liaison or a link when the next word
begins with a vowel.

Ex. -
•J’aime la classe de science. (elision)
•J’habite à Paris. (elision)
z
•Nous aimons la musique. (liaison)

B. Les négatifs
•You will use the “sandwich” formula to make
negatives in French.
Sandwich your verb between your bread… “ne”
and “pas.”
ne verbe pas

The sandwich formula…
