Questions & Answers about Nous ne voyons plus jamais personne sur cette application !
Wait, plus, jamais, and personne? Are we allowed to stack three negative words like this?
Yes! In French, you can combine multiple negative words to create complex meanings. Instead of a double or triple negative canceling itself out like in English, they work together. Here, ne ... plus jamais personne combines "no longer" (plus), "never" (jamais), and "nobody/anyone" (personne) to mean "never see anyone anymore".
Does the order of plus, jamais, and personne matter?
Why is there no pas in this sentence?
Words like plus, jamais, and personne are strong enough to replace pas. When you use any of these negative words with ne, you drop the pas. Adding it (like ne voyons pas plus) would be grammatically incorrect.
Where would all these negative words go if the sentence were in the past tense (passé composé)?
