| 6.1.5 Negation with not anything / nothing - ne ... rien |
The construction with not anything / nothing returns again to the basic rule. We have a construction with ne plus a supplement, in this case it is rien. This construction encloses the first conjugated verb and it does not influence the position of the personal pronouns in the sentence.
| Examples | |
|
Je ne dis rien. |
| I do not say anything. - I say nothing. | |
|
|
Je n' ai rien dit. |
| I have not said anything. - I have said nothing. | |
|
|
Je ne peux rien faire. |
| I cannot do anything. - I can do nothing. | |
