Saute le 'ne' en parlant?
Oui, Michael, in spoken French the 'ne' is often omitted or swallowed up in sloppy speech but the norm.
However, in written Fench it is still required .
Hope this helps!
Hi Michael,
Yes it would be 'ces phrases' and I would use the verb dire (to say) rather than parler (to speak).

I think the answer is wrong...
I thought that the i with a circumflex had been optional since about 1990 in verbs
I wrote ne t'entraine pas without the circumflex
The questions asked how you would ask "friends" and then gave the formal rather than informal answer as correct. Don't use the word friends in the question as you're misleading people in the question.
Why is Ne te couche pas wrong. I was marked wrong for that in this question. No way to tell if the « you » referred to us singular or plural. I’m confused. Help? Thanks.
