Adjective, pronoun or both?

Question

May I check? In this lesson, in different examples I believe aucun/e ... ne is used both as a negative adjective and as a variable negative pronoun? Is this correct?

Accepted Answer

Bonjour Andy,

No, I'm afraid not - all of the examples in this lesson use aucun(e) as a variable French negative pronoun.

Here's an example of aucun(e) as a negative adjective: Aucune fille n'est venue.

We know aucune is an adjective because it's followed directly by a noun, in comparison to Aucune des filles n'est venue.

Tous les gosses y vont, mais ________ prend le train.Is "aucun d'entre eux" acceptable here?

Answer

Hi Ian,
I just picked your query by chance during a backlog exercise, 
aucun d'entre eux ne
is given as a possibility so maybe the 'ne' is missing in your answer ?
In any case, it would have been better posted as a separate query.
Hope this helps!
