What is the difference in sound between these two phrases: Il n'aime pas and il n'aiment pas?
I was doing Duolingo where you hae to type what you hear and I typed the first and they counted it wrong and said it was the second. I don't know how you tell the difference without context.

I was doing Duolingo where you hae to type what you hear and I typed the first and they counted it wrong and said it was the second.  I don't know how you tell the difference without context.

The second one should be 'Ils n'aiment pas' (plural - meaning 'they don't like').

The sound is exactly the same.
