Je ne regarde plus la télévision le soir.

Ne ... plus means no longer or not anymore.

So:

• Je ne regarde pas la télévision le soir. = I do not watch TV in the evening.
• Je ne regarde plus la télévision le soir. = I do not watch TV in the evening anymore / I no longer watch TV in the evening.

It is a negative expression, and it wraps around the conjugated verb: ne + verb + plus.

Because regarde is the conjugated form of the verb regarder for je in the present tense.

The infinitive is regarder = to watch.

Present tense:

• je regarde
• tu regardes
• il / elle regarde
• nous regardons
• vous regardez
• ils / elles regardent

So Je regarde means I watch or I am watching, depending on context.

That is how French normally builds this kind of negation.

With a simple conjugated verb, the pattern is:

subject + ne + verb + plus

So:

• Je ne regarde plus

This is similar to other French negatives:

• Je ne regarde pas = I do not watch
• Je ne regarde jamais = I never watch
• Je ne regarde rien = I watch nothing

In everyday spoken French, people often drop ne, but in standard written French it should be included:

• written: Je ne regarde plus la télévision le soir.
• spoken: Je regarde plus la télévision le soir.

French usually uses an article where English often does not.

So French says:

• regarder la télévision
• literally: to watch the television
• natural English: to watch TV

This is very common. English often drops the article with general activities, but French often keeps it.

Compare:

• J’écoute la radio. = I listen to the radio.
• Je joue du piano. = I play the piano.

Yes, very often it can.

In regarder la télévision, it usually means watching television / TV programmes, not staring at the physical TV set.

So although the literal form includes la télévision, the real meaning is just the activity to watch TV.

Yes, you may hear or see de télévision, but it is not exactly the same nuance.

• Je ne regarde plus la télévision le soir usually means I don’t watch TV anymore in the evenings as a general habitual activity.
• Je ne regarde plus de télévision le soir can sound a bit more like I no longer watch any television in the evenings.

With regarder la télévision, the version with la is very standard and idiomatic.

Because le soir is a standard French time expression meaning in the evening or in the evenings, depending on context.

French often uses le + part of day to talk about a habitual time:

• le matin = in the morning
• l’après-midi = in the afternoon
• le soir = in the evening

So:

• Je travaille le matin. = I work in the morning / in the mornings.
• Je ne regarde plus la télévision le soir. = I no longer watch TV in the evening / in the evenings.

English uses a preposition here, but French often does not.

Usually it means in the evening as a general time of day, and very often it suggests a habit.

So Je ne regarde plus la télévision le soir is most naturally understood as:

• I don’t watch TV in the evenings anymore or
• I no longer watch TV in the evening

If you wanted to refer to one particular evening, French would usually make that clearer in another way, for example with a specific time expression.

In ne ... plus meaning no longer / not anymore, plus is usually pronounced plu (the final s is normally silent).

So:

• Je ne regarde plus ≈ zhuh nuh ruh-gard plu

This helps distinguish it from positive plus meaning more, where the s is often pronounced:

• plus de temps = more time

That said, pronunciation can vary a little depending on speed and region, but plu is the normal pronunciation in this negative meaning.

In careful speech, yes, but in everyday spoken French it is very often dropped.

So you may hear:

• Je regarde plus la télévision le soir.

Even though the ne is missing in speech, the meaning is still negative because plus shows it.

In formal writing and in careful standard French, you should write:

• Je ne regarde plus la télévision le soir.

Yes, a little, especially with the time expression.

The most neutral order is:

• Je ne regarde plus la télévision le soir.

But you could also say:

• Le soir, je ne regarde plus la télévision.

This puts more emphasis on le soir.

You would not normally move plus away from the verb in this sentence, because ne ... plus works as a unit around the conjugated verb.

Because regarder is a direct transitive verb in French: it takes its object directly.

So:

• regarder la télévision
• regarder un film
• regarder la mer

There is no à here.

This is different from some other French verbs that do require a preposition, but regarder does not.

Yes. It is in the present tense: je regarde.

French often uses the present tense with ne ... plus to express a present situation that is different from the past.

So Je ne regarde plus la télévision le soir means:

• right now, this is no longer my habit
• it used to happen, but it does not happen now

The idea of change from the past comes from plus, not from a special tense.
