ne expletif

"J'ai peur qu'elle ________ des bêtises." Why "fasse" and not "ne fasse?" Thanks.

Bonjour Lee ! As stated in related lessons, the "ne" explétif can be dropped in speech, so this sentence is correct. However, "ne fasse" is also marked as a correct freeform answer. I hope that's helpful! À bientôt !
