Questions & Answers about Le silence est effrayant sans personne à côté de moi.
Where is the ne in this sentence? I thought "anyone" or "nobody" was ne... personne.
You normally need ne before the verb to make a negative sentence with personne. However, the preposition sans (without) already carries a negative meaning. When you use personne directly after sans, you drop the ne. This makes sans personne mean "without anyone."
Doesn't personne just mean "person"?
Why do we use moi at the end instead of me?
Why does effrayant end in a "t" instead of "te" here?
