You may have noticed that it is a common occurrence in informal French to not use the standard formula "ne + verb + pas" to express "not". Frequently the "ne" is left out. For example, in this lesson, consider these negatives:
...je pouvais pas revenir ici. (...je ne pouvais pas revenir ici)
Margot, je pense pas... (Margot, je ne pense pas...)
T’inquiète pas. (Ne t’inquiète pas.)
There are quite a few other examples in this lesson!
Now start dropping the "ne" when you speak informally. C'est pas dificile!
