The negative form ne ... pas means 'not' and it forms a sandwich around the main verb of a sentence to turn it from a positive into a negative, for example:

• (positive) vous visitez Paris demain - you are visiting Paris tomorrow → (negative) vous ne visitez pas Paris demain - you’re not visiting Paris tomorrow
• (positive) je jouais au foot - I was playing football → (negative) je ne jouais pas au foot - I wasn't playing football

Remember that ne becomes n' before a vowel or silent -h, for example:

• (positive) tu habites à Poitiers ? - you live in Poitiers? → (negative) tu ��’ habites pas à Poitiers ? - you do��’t live in Poitiers?
• (positive) j’aime la musique pop - I like pop music → (negative) je ��’aime pas la musique pop - I do��’t like pop music
