Editing French grammar (section)

=== Colloquial usage ===
In colloquial French, it is common to drop the {{Lang|fr|ne}}, although this can create some ambiguity with the {{Lang|fr|ne … plus}} construction when written down, as {{Lang|fr|plus}} could mean either 'more' or 'not anymore'. Generally when {{Lang|fr|plus}} is used to mean {{Lang|en|more}}, the final {{vr|s}} is pronounced ({{IPA|fr|plys|}}), whereas it is never pronounced when used to mean 'not anymore' ({{IPA|fr|ply|}}).

As an example, the informal sentence {{Lang|fr|Il y en a plus}} could be pronounced with the final {{IPA|fr|s|}} ({{IPA|fr|il i ɑ̃n a plys, jɑ̃n a plys|}}) to mean "there is more", or it could be pronounced without it ({{IPA|fr|il i ɑ̃n a ply, jɑ̃n a ply|}}) to mean "there is none left".
