Liaison between pas and assez

Another question ...

I noticed that there is no liaison between pas and assez in the audio of this lesson, but they also can be read as "pazassez", right?

Merci!

How would you simply say "I have my BA?"In English I would say "I received my BA in 1995" when referring to a specific point in time but in general conversation with someone I would simply say "I have my BA" to indicate that I had that degree so how would I make the distinction in French or do you simply not have that meaning in French?

Are these are examples of ne explétif Hello, I have started reading L'etranger by Albert Camus recently. I see the following two sentences with the use of ne and no other negative words (like "pas" or "rien", etc). Are they examples of Ne Explétif", or is there another explanation? 1. "Puis il m’a serré la main qu’il a gardée si long- temps que je ne savais trop comment la retirer." 2. "Vous ne pouviez subvenir à ses besoins." Merci beaucoup en avance!

the word 'certes'I have come across the word certes : "elle habille certes la mariée" My dictionary translates it as 'admittedly', which doesn't make much sense Can you tell me how it is used ?
