Questions & Answers about Il n'a plus la force de marcher.
Why is there no pas in this negative sentence?
Why do we use de before marcher?
Why does it use la force instead of de force?
Because it refers to a specific ability (the strength to walk), it takes the definite article la. If you wanted to say he has no strength left in general, you would drop the article after the negative and say Il n'a plus de force.
