"Plus de royauté, etc." Why does that mean "no more," w/out any grammatical indicator of negation, like "ne plus?"
Hi Drew,
Just as you can say -
'pas de' + noun
as in:
Pas de pain, pas d'argent, pas de mal ( no bread, no money, no harm)
You can use 'plus de' + noun to indicate no more -
...plus de royauté ... plus de privilèges = no more monarchy...no more privileges.
Hope this helps!
