Questions & Answers about Je n'envoie plus jamais rien, même pas une notification !

How do I know what order to put plus, jamais, and rien in?

When stacking negative words, French follows a specific order: plus comes first, then jamais, and finally rien. Together, ne... plus jamais rien translates to "never anything anymore" or "no longer ever anything".

Why isn't there a pas after the verb like in standard negations?

Negative words like plus, jamais, and rien actually replace pas. You only need the n' before the verb. Adding pas when you already have these other negative words would be grammatically incorrect.

Can I say pas même instead of même pas for "not even"?

No, the fixed expression for "not even" is always même pas. You will see it used a lot to add strong emphasis to a negative thought, especially in conversational French.

Why does the verb envoyer (to send) change its spelling to envoie here?

For most French verbs ending in -yer, the y changes to an i when it is followed by a silent e. This happens in the present tense for je, tu, il/elle/on, and ils/elles. That is why it is written as j'envoie and not j'envoye.
