Salut!

Thanks for the post.

"Plus" has 2 meanings which is why it has 2 pronunciations.
When it means "not anymore" (1st example) the s at the end is silent.
When it means "more" (2nd example) the s is pronounced.

I hope this helps! Bon chance!

So s is not silent in "Pouvey vous parley plus lentement, s'il vous plait " or in " Plus retard ".
Pl give example where s in plus is silent.

Salut!

I'm so sorry in my earlier post I forgot to the post the examples given. This topic is in two areas of the forum.

Je ne t'aime plus = I don't love you anymore
Je t'aime plus que jamais = I love you more than ever

This is what I meant by first and second examples!

Merci,
Marie-Claire
