Question

These first five sentences all contain verbs. A verb is a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence. For example: run, walk,

Remember that in order to make a French sentence negative, we put "ne" in front of the verb and "pas after it. "Ne" becomes "n" befor
In the five sentences below, the verbs are all in bold.
1. Je suis à la plage.
2. Vous êtes en ville.
3. Tu es à l'usine.
4. C'est un livre.
5. Ce sont des stylos.
The next three are not sentences with verbs. Remember that "pas" can be used alone in short statements.
6. mal.
7. beaucoup.
8. lundi.

Answer 1

Yes, that is correct! In the first five sentences, the verbs are "suis," "êtes," "es," "est," and "sont." These verbs all describe a state or occurrence.

In the last three examples, "mal," "beaucoup," and "lundi" are not verbs because they do not describe an action, state, or occurrence. "Mal" means "badly," "beaucoup" means "a lot," and "lundi" means "Monday."

It is important to remember that in order to make a French sentence negative, you need to put "ne" in front of the verb and "pas" after it. "Ne" becomes "n'" before a vowel sound. In short statements, "pas" can be used alone to mean "not."

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
