En fait c’est à cause de pouvoir

So this sentence would be correct with or without the "pas"?

[young jetty]

Oh huh AJA! I've heard that French speakers often drop the "ne" in speech, so is the "pas" generally used with those verbs in speech?

[slim nest]

It’s a literary way to form your phrase 👍 but totally correct

[young jetty]

All right, thanks!

Sorry i actually misread, generally you’ll see just the “ne” in books, in common parlance you’ll see the pas
