Salut,

If the verb of a negative sentence is être, would it still be possible to change un / une to de / d'? Merci beaucoup. ^^

Bonjour Melvin, No, just like with partitive articles, this rule doesn't apply to complements following the verb "être". Thanks to you, I've now added a note to the lesson :) Merci et à bientôt !
