    Bonjour Alexa
    I'm watching Inhuman Resources on Netflix with Éric Cantona (haha I did not know he became an actor!) and I thought about this lesson I just watched a few days ago. The protagonist's wife says, according to the subtitles:
    - J'habiterai plus ici. Je supporte plus.
    She didn't even use any negation but since she did not pronounce "S" I understood she did not want to stay. But when it's written only, it can be confusing :)
