I have read earlier that while doing negation in avoir we should change the articles into de for example.. J'ai un Stylo
Je n'ai pas de Stylo. Then how to follow this rule while using verbs

Hi Sheetal,
I think what you are thinking of is in the following Kwiziq lesson -
https://kwiziq.learnfrenchwithalexa.com/revision/grammar/the-partitive-article-in-negative-sentences
It is nothing to do with the verb 'avoir' but with ne ---pas
This also applies after un, une :
J'achète un camembert -------> Je n'achète pas de camembert
J'ai un bureau ------> Je n'ai pas de bureau
etc.
Hope this helps!
You mean verbs other than avoir? Can you give me an example of where you're unsure how to form the negative?
