Setting the scene:
You are in France when a murder is committed. You were found at the scene of the crime . The police bring you in for questioning and ask you some things about yourself. Of course you’re innocent, but how can you tell
them that?

Saying “no” in French
The simple way to say “no” in French is the word “non” This functions this way:

You need to tell them that no, you are not the things they know about the suspect. They know that:
He is tall He is smart He is funny He is energetic He is patient

But we don’t know how to say we are not these things!!

Ne . . . pas
This goes around the verb I am tall Je suis grand Je ( suis) grand – around the verb Je ne suis pas grand
![Page 9: Basic Negation NO!!. Setting the scene: You are in France when a murder is committed. You were found at the scene of the crime. The police bring you in](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55144d8e5503462d4e8b4f5d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Steps to doing this
1. Look at your sentence. Find the form of etre (or another verb)
2. Put parenthesies around it.
3. Place a “ne” where the ( is and a “pas” where the ) is. Erase the parenthesies

Groups of five
Each person needs a dry erase board.
When you have them, stand in line in order of the tallest to the shortest.
The first person will be the “je, tu, etc.”
The middle will be “etre”
The last will be the adjective (enthousiaste, energique, etc)
The first of the two remaining people will be “ne,” the second will be “pas”
After each sentence, the first person will move to the back and everyone else will move up.
