We don't see anything

For one of the kwiz questions it asked what the translation of "we don't see anything" is. I answered "Nous ne voyons rien" but the correct answer is "Nous ne voyons personne". Was my answer wrong? I thought the second sentence would mean "we don't see anyone"

This question relates to:French lesson "Ne ... rien = Nothing (French Negations)"

Hi Misterpuns,

Can you re-post using the Report it button on your Correction Board as it links directly to the specific quiz and makes it easier to answer you.

Bonne Continuation!

« "On" vs "nous"I was always taught that "ne...plus" meant "no more" or "no longer". Therefore to say one has "no milk" is would be a simple negation vs. "ne..plus" »
