Question 1

How does ne... plus work in this sentence?

Accepted Answer

It works exactly like ne... pas, wrapping around the conjugated verb. Instead of meaning not, ne... plus means not anymore or no longer. Notice that ne drops its e to become n' before the vowel sounds in est and a.

Question 2

Why is it plus de stress and not plus du stress?

Accepted Answer

In French, when you have a negative quantity of something, articles like un, une, or du change to just de (or d'). Because he has zero stress left, du stress (some stress) becomes plus de stress (no more stress).

Question 3

Do I pronounce the s at the end of plus in this sentence?

Accepted Answer

No, the s is silent here. When plus is used in a negative phrase like ne... plus, the s is not pronounced, unless the next word starts with a vowel sound (which would cause a liaison). Since fatigué and de start with consonants, the s stays completely silent.

Question 4

Why do we say au travail instead of just à travail for at work?

Accepted Answer

In French, you usually need a definite article like le (the) before a noun. The word travail is masculine, so it takes le. When the preposition à (at) meets le, they must combine into the single word au.
