8 Negative sentences In a negative sentence, the ne and pas go around the DOP and the verb. Examples: Je ne le regarde pas. Tu ne la regardes pas.

9 Placement If there are several verbs in a sentence, the DOP comes right before the verb of which it is the object. Typically, this is the UNCONJUGATED VERB, the INFINITIVE. Examples: Je vais voir le film demain. –Je vais le voir demain. You’re not « going it,» you’re « seeing it » Tu veux visiter les musées avec moi? –Tu veux les visiter avec moi ?
