Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

[summer barn]

when the verb is conjugated, "ne" goes before the verb and "pas" goes after

"pas" isn't the only negative adverb in french

there are a few, depending on the meaning

ne... pas = not
ne... plus = not anymore
ne... rien = nothing / not anything
ne... jamais = never
ne... que = only
ne... personne = no one / not anyone
etc

what is confusing you about the order?

in both cases "ne" goes before the conjugated verb and "pas" goes after

in the first sentence, "aime" is the verb

the word order is the same in both sentences

elle n'aime pas
elle ne comprend pas

"ne" contracts to "n' " when followed by a vowel sound

the same happens to a lot of words (je, te, le, la, me, de, que...)

de, me, ne, se, te, jusque, que, ce, je, le, lorsque, puisque, quoique with -e
la with -a
si with -i specifically when followed by "il" => s'il

tu with -u informally as well

there are a number of them
my personal recommendations would be Lawless French + Anki

Lawless French has a bunch of grammar articles about grammatical rules and how to make sentences. If you want to learn some concepts or clear up confusion about some rule it's probably the way to go.

Anki is more of an app than a website. It's a flashcard app that can help you practice vocabulary on a daily basis
