Sort of. Usually you would keep it, but in extremely casual situations you can sometimes drop the ne.

"J'aime la classe d'anglais, mais je n'aime pas la classe de mathématiques."
What is the difference between
"Je ne veux pas rentrer a la maison."
and
"Je veux ne rentrer pas a la maison."
The first one is correct. Always put negation around the first verb, never around an infinitive.
Pronounce (verbally) these two sentences:
Je n'aime pas le francais.
J'ai besoin d'un ordinateur.
"Je" should be pronounced "Juh"
"J'ai" should be pronounced "Jhe (short e)"
Is this sentence grammatically correct?
"Est-ce que tu n'aime pas manger du poisson?"
NO. "n'aime" should be "n'aimes"
Didn't think conjugation would be here too, huh?
Explain negation.
In French, when you want to make a sentence negative, you put ne and pas around the main verb.
Spot the incorrect sentence, "J'aime le croissant. Je ne comprends pas. Elle ne danse pas. Ils aime manger. Je ne parle français mais j'aime parle le chinois. Je parle l'anglais."
Ils aime manger. (Should be "Ils aiment manger.")
"Je besoin un crayon," says your friend.
Would you be friends with this person?
NO. This person has violated the French rule of putting "de" after besoin. Barricade their locker with super glue and hope to never see them again.
Why do you double negate in French?
To emphasize the negative connotation. Two wrongs don't make a right in French.
Say "French is my favorite class."
or
"I do not like French class"
in French.
Bonus points if you add your French grade!
Le français c'est ma classe préférée.
or
Je n'aime pas la classe de français.
Your friend from last question comes back, saying sorry and "Je besoin d'un crayon." Do you want to be their friend again?
NO. It should be "avoir besoin" (or J'ai besoin). Call their parents and tell them they have raised a disappointment.
Is this sentence correct: "J'ai ne besoin pas d'agrafeuse."
NO. While you usually put just "de," because the verb in this sentence is "besoin," you need to put an article in front of the noun.
Translate the simplified meaning of this sentence to French: "I would not not not like to not not study."
