Notes for teachers
Start by writing a positive sentence on the board and showing how ne and pas 'sandwich' the verb. Typical mistakes are putting pas after the object, forgetting the elision (ne aime), keeping un/une/des after a negative, and wrongly using de after aimer. As a follow-up, ask pairs to interview each other with yes/no questions and answer only with full negative sentences.
