We know that indefinite articles "un/une/des" become "de" in negative form with the exception of verb être and verbs of states. But, does this rule also apply to the negative of interrogative sentence?

For example:

Il mange une pomme. -> Il ne mange pas de pomme.

Is the following also true?

Est-ce qu'il mange une pomme ? -> Est-ce qu'il ne mange pas de pomme ? and

Mange-t-il une pomme ? -> Ne mange-t-il pas de pomme ?

I didn't find any reference about negative interrogative and indefinite articles so have to ask to clear my doubt. Also, please confirm the case with negative interrogative and partitive articles.

merci beaucoup.

Thanks for enlightening the rest of the world

Thanks so much for letting us know about the Aubracs. Most Americans no nothing about them. Their courage and skill in working for the Resistance is inspiring. On our Veterans Day, it is yet another story of the people who sacrificed much to overcome tyranny. It is much appreciated!

même = same.

the same boots - les même bottes. But I thought French usually had the word order "les bottes même" like the usual French 'noun adjective word order' and même would follow this pattern... mais non... is there an easy rule/way to remember for which words come before or after the noun? Merci

Too difficult for A1

My performance on this was dismal (lugubre). I don’t think it was me. It is too difficult for A1, à mon avi.
