what does pas means??
This question relates to:French lesson "Ne ... jamais = Never (French Negations)"
Asked 4 years ago

Hi Muhd. Yusuf
The word 'pas' means not, a negation, but it is most often accompanied by 'ne' just as ne....jamais:
Je n'ai pas de lait = I have no milk ( Lit- I do not have any milk)
Take a look at the following Kwiziq lesson -
But words on their own are nothing without context so beware!
Hope this helps!
