A negative sentence is a sentence whose verb is negated with the word “not”
and an affirmative sentence is… The contrary :-)
The “ne” part of the negation will become “n'” in elision when followed by a
word starting by a vowel or a mute h.
If there is only one verb, it’s easy: ne (or n’) before, pas after.
More Examples:
With the definite articles (le, la, l’, les) as well as its contractions (au, aux, du,
des), there is no change.
