The 'e' is dropped and replaced by an apostrophe, when in front of a vowel (or a vowel sound). Ex: Il n'habite pas ici (he doesn't live here), elle n'aura pas de problème (she won't have any problem), elle n'ira pas au cinéma (she won't go to the movies).

In French, the word "ne" is used with the negative form of verbs. When placed in front of a vowel, "ne" undergoes a contraction and merges with the verb to form a single word. For example, "je ne parle pas" (I don't speak) becomes "je n'ai pas parlΓ©" (I didn't speak).
