Yes, I'm sure. In French, when negating a sentence with "pas," the indefinite articles "un," "une," and "des" change to "de" in the negative form. Therefore, "Je n’ai pas de stylos" is correct, while the other options are not grammatically correct.
To clarify:
- A. "J'ai de stylos" — Incorrect; it should be "J'ai des stylos" (I have pens).
- B. "Je n’ai pas des stylos" — Incorrect; it should be "Je n’ai pas de stylos."
- C. "Je n’ai pas de stylos" — Correct.
- D. "Je n’ai pas des stylo" — Incorrect; it should be "Je n’ai pas de stylos" (and "stylo" should be plural to match "pas de").
So again, C is the correct choice.
