Questions & Answers about Tu n'étudies pas dans le bureau ?
Why does étudies end in -es?
Why is it n'étudies instead of ne étudies?
When the negative word ne comes right before a vowel (like the é in étudies), it drops its e and combines with the verb using an apostrophe. This makes the words easier to say together. The second negative word, pas, still goes after the verb.
Why is there no word for 'do' in this sentence?
