You already know individual negative words like **plus** (anymore), **jamais** (never), **rien** (nothing), and **personne** (nobody). To express layered ideas like "nothing anymore" or "never again," you can stack these negative words together in a single sentence.

When combining negations, you must always drop **pas**.

### Ne... plus rien (Nothing anymore)

To say you no longer do "anything," combine **plus** and **rien**. The order is **ne** + verb + **plus** + **rien**.

{{item:879698}}

### Ne... plus jamais (Never again / Never anymore)

Similarly, to say "never again" or "never... anymore," stack **plus** and **jamais**.

{{item:879696}}

{{item:879701}}

### Ne... plus jamais rien (Never anything anymore)

You can even stack three negative words! The standard order places **plus**, then **jamais**, and finally **rien**.

{{item:879706}}

{{item:879707}}

### Adding "personne" (Nobody / anyone)

When including **personne** (nobody/anyone) in a combined negation, it acts as the anchor and always goes at the very end of the negative stack.
