Look at these examples with aucun(e) ... ne:
Aucun/aucune ne/n' means none (of them).
This term can refer to both objects and people.
Note three things:
- aucun/e ne is always followed by singular in French (even though in modern English, none of them are is sometimes considered acceptable)
- aucun/aucune agree in gender with the object it refers to
- You have to use the negation ne/n' unlike in English
We can also express none of them using aucun d'entre eux ne ... / aucune d'entre elles ne ..., like this:
aucun/e means none, rien means nothing!
See also Ne ... aucun(e) = None (negation)
