3.1.1.4.1 No article after the preposition sans (without)
Now we come to the few exceptions we were talking about. One of them is the preposition sans (without).
You will notice it is in French the same as it is in English:
Example
Sans
argent
la
vie
est
dure
Without
money
life
is
hard.
However, with the opposite preposition avec (with) articles are used again.
