Multiple negatives

Is the sentence below correct ?! Can we use three negatives in a row?

Il ne dit jamais rien personne

or is it necessary to add à before personne ?!

Il ne dit jamais rien à personne ?!

Other verbs

Are there other verbs who follow this same pattern: ie. they can be conjugated in the past tense using either 'etre' or 'avoir'? The verb that comes to mind is:

'Paraitre'?

Negation ni... ni...

Hello,

So If I'm understanding this correctly when the definite article is before a noun it remains when the verb is negative?

il aime le Café et le chocolate.

Il n'aime ni le Café ni le chocolate

But if the indefinite or partitive article is before a noun in an affirmative sentence the article is then removed when negative?

Elle commande de l'eau et du vin.

Elle ne commande ni eau ni vin.

Thanks

Nicole

For A2 level this needs to be redone

Looking at the multiple comments below, this recording could do with being redone. Not a fan of a 'throw them in the deep end' approach to language learning. Being stretched is one thing, but there is a risk of snapping!

Je n'ai pas trouvé les sushis

Why is it "les" (sushi in general) instead of "de" (not any)? Same question later on in reverse - why is it "si vous avez de la Tiger" (some Tiger) and not "la Tiger" (Tiger beer in general)? Somehow I can understand how to use the subjunctive, but cannot master the French articles and prepositions which seem to pose the biggest challenge.

I think "avoir les moyens" should be given as an option for "afford"
