It seems that requérir can double as meaning both "require" and "request",

despite the fact that the translations you gave for it were:

and did not mention 'request':

Hi, as I understand, the use of 'ne' in everyday 'street French' is gradually being omitted. Could you please clarify to what extent 'ne' is still used in this context. 

Thank you 

Well i bounced the question of prof / professeur off my neighbour's kids who are at secondary / high school, and to a person they replied prof or professeur. They regard "instituteur / institutrice" as a primary school teacher, and " l'enseignant(e)" as a general word for those in the teaching profession, although if it's at university level "professeur" is the norm. They should know and i'm not going to argue with them. And anyway, the prompts were clear and specific just as Cécile said so i can't see what the issue is ??

Can you please explain why we don't use "de/d' " after ne...aucun/aucune?? What is the reason behind it? Like we use ne...pas assez de.., ne...guère de.., ne...pas de..., beaucoup de, trop de, plus de...
