I don't quite follow what the "But only" is meaning in the following text from the lesson:

You can also use any of those with ne ... plus (not anymore / not again):plus jamais / jamais plusbut ONLY plus rienplus personneplus nulle part.

This question relates to:French lesson "Combining two or more negations (French Negations)"

Bonjour Rob !

I agree my formulation here is not the clearest :)
What I meant was that you can use "plus jamais" or "jamais plus" (either order), but "plus rien" etc cannot be inverted.
Thanks to you, I've now made this point clearer.

Merci beaucoup et bonne journée !
