Likes and dislikes: j'aime, je n'aime pas, sentence 1

To say "not", French wraps two little words around the verb like the bread of a sandwich: je ne mange pas, and ne loses its e before a vowel, so je n'aime pas.

Who acts: French, ne · What happens: say, wrap, lose · To what, where: two little words, verb, e · Speech: someone speaks here
