ne expletif
"J'ai peur qu'elle ________ des bêtises." Why "fasse" and not "ne fasse?" Thanks.
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate faire in the subjunctive present in French (Le Subjonctif Présent)"

Bonjour Lee !
As stated in related lessons, the "ne" explétif can be dropped in speech, so this sentence is correct.
However, "ne fasse" is also marked as a correct freeform answer.
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
