Questions & Answers about Il se déconnecte et il n'est plus jamais joignable par personne.

Why are there three negative words in one sentence?

While English avoids double negatives (switching to words like 'anymore' or 'anyone'), French requires you to stack negative words to build the full meaning. You drop pas and combine the others: ne ... plus jamais ... personne pieces together 'no longer', 'never', and 'nobody'.

What is the correct order for stacking plus, jamais, and personne?

French has a specific hierarchy when combining negative words. The adverb plus comes first, followed by jamais. The pronoun personne usually comes last in the sequence.

Why doesn't personne go right after the verb alongside plus and jamais?

Short negative adverbs like plus and jamais like to stay close to the conjugated verb (est). However, personne acts as a pronoun representing a person, so it sits exactly where a person's name would go—in this case, as the object of the preposition par (by).
