To make a phrase in French negative, simply use the two words "ne"(pronounced "nuh") and "pas"(pronounced "pa"). For a conjugated verb, the ne is placed before the verb, and the pas after it.

For example, to say "She is beautiful," the sentance is "Elle est beau." The verb is être, meaning "to be", and in this sentence is conjugated "est" for elle. To say "She is not pretty," insert the "ne" and the "pas" to make the sentence "Elle n'est pas." In this case you drop the "e" in the ne because the verb starts with a vowel(French vowels are all the english ones plus "h").

If you would like to make an infinitive verb(unconjugated verb) negative, simply place both the "ne" and "pas" before the verb. So the phrase "To be or not to be" translates as "Être ou ne pas être."

Why is it important to conjugate French verbs?

You need to conjugate verbs in most languages. Whether you realize it or not, you conjugate verbs in English as well as in French. Use the French verb "avoir" for example. "j'ai" translates to "I have", and "il a" translates to "he has". If you didn't conjugate it and just left it as "j'avoir" then that would translate to "I to have" which is obviously incorrect.
