FR: no longer ate any sweets

[mandythebrit]

My question is regarding the usage of ne jamais plus aucun and the correct tense in both sentences.

I want to say:

Gabriel learned that he was diabetic. After that, he no longer ate/eats any sweets.

I think it is either:

1.Gabriel a appris qu'il était diabétique. Apres cela, il n'a jamais mangé plus aucun bonbon.

or
2. Gabriel a appris qu'il était diabétique. Apres cela, il ne mange jamais plus aucun bonbon.

I am not sure which tense is best to use in the second sentence (past or present.)

Thank you.

I suggest: Après cela, il n'a plus jamais mangé de bonbons.

Can someone please explain why this isn't "il n'a jamais mangé plus de bonbons"?

I'm confused :S

Thanks for your help.

I have to use "ne.... jamais plus aucun"

So I think this makes the sentence read:

Gabriel a appris qu'il était diabétique. Apres cela, il n'a plus jamais mangé aucun bonbon.

Gabriel learned that he was diabetic. After that, he no longer ate anything sweet.

That would translate as "he has never eaten more lollies".

Plus...jamais is the way to translate "never...anymore".

Thanks for your help.

Gabriel learned that he was diabetic. After that, he no longer ate anything sweet.

In that case, you have the word order right.

"Gabriel a appris qu'il était diabétique et après, (ça) il n'a plus (jamais) mangé de bonbons".
"Gabriel a appris qu'il était diabétique et depuis, il ne mange plus (jamais) de bonbons".
"Gabriel a appris qu'il était diabétique et depuis, il ne mange plus rien de sucré".

Thank you for your help Itka. However, I have to use "ne.. jamais plus aucun" in the second sentence.

"Gabriel a appris qu'il était diabétique et depuis, il ne mange plus aucun bonbon".
This sentence is very unnatural but as it is an exercise...I assume you cannot choose !But "jamais plus aucun" seems...a bit too much !

I totally agree with you! Thanks for your help.
