what does pas means??

Question

if jamais means never, then what does pas means??

Accepted Answer

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 -
 https://french.kwiziq.com/revision/grammar/how-to-use-ne-pas-not-with-simple-tenses-negation
But words on their own are nothing without context so beware!
Hope this helps!
