IN NEGATIVE SENTENCES
2
Indefinite articles in negative sentences: Un, une, and des become de or d’ (a, an, any) in a negative sentence. Tu as un frère? Non, je n’ai pas de frère. Est-ce-que Marcel a une tante? Non, il n’a pas de tante. M. Rondeau a des enfants? Non, il n’a pas d’ enfants. However, un, une, and des do not change after a form of the verb être in a negative sentence. Ce sont des photos de mes parents; ce ne sont pas des photos de mes profs. These are pictures of my parents; they’re not pictures of my teachers.

The partitive articles du, de la, and de l’ also change to de or d’ in negative sentences. On ne va pas acheter de fromage. We’re not going to buy (any) cheese. Il n’y a pas d’ eau minérale. There isn’t any mineral water.
