Why isn't it 'depouillement des votes'?
Quand elle sera grandie, elle voyagera beaucoup.
Is this sentence right?
I feel the following is right. Please clarify anyone.
Quand elle aura grandi, elle voyagera beaucoup.
What is the function of "ne" in the phrase "avant qu'elle ne rentre?" It translates, "before she gets home."
Or otherwise
je ne veux pas du tout lait ?
does the 'du tout' cancel out the de ?? (normal sentence: je ne veux pas de lait)
also regarding verbs that need prepositions before the infinitive...
je ne te permets pas du tout de venir ici
or
je ne te demande pas du tout de me voir
Bonjour,
Can you please explain when to use which version
Je joue instead of j’arid both meaning I act (I thought)
boulot instead of emploi both meaning job (I thought)
Merci

Is the sentence below correct ?! Can we use three negatives in a row?
Il ne dit jamais rien personne
or is it necessary to add à before personne ?!
Il ne dit jamais rien à personne ?!
I’m having difficulty with the sentence "Leurs témoignages ________ louches à la police.
(Their testimonies sounded dodgy to the police)Why isn’t the verb in l’imparfait rather than PC? It seems to me that the testimonies weren’t suddenly dodgy, it was something that continued
I notice in the phrase 'était apparue gracieusement sur cet étrange engin' the adverb is placed after the participle, not the conjugated verb. Am I right in thinking adverbs normally go directly after the conjugated verb ?
Maybe there are regional differences, but I would not say "I am going to see with (Julie), but etc etc" as it is used in the sentence in this exercise. That would be "I am going to check with Julie, but . . . " or "I am going to see what Julie says/thinks, but. . . .".
It reads to me as if the literal translation from the French expression "Je vais voir avec Julie, mais ..." has been used here, but it doesn't sound right (to me) in English.
"I am going to see with Julie, but . . " would indicate something along the lines of 'keeping an eye on her', 'giving her a chance to' etc
