Is "il est parlé couramment" C1-level French grammar? (La Voix Passive Forming La Voix Passive with simple tenses in French (French Passive Voice))
I understand what it means, but if C1 why is it in an A2 grammar lesson?
for example,
« I didn’t eat enough of the cake » - meaning a specific cake, rather than general cake. In this case, is it allowed to say
« Je n’ai mangé pas assez du gateau »
?
Il a gagné la course, qui est impressionnante.He won the amazing race.
Dans le deuxième, c'est la course qui est impressionnante. C'était la course qui était impressionnants, pas qu'il l'a gagné.
Est-ce-que correct, ce logique ?
I am puzzled by "tout oppose le" in the following announcement.
À l’occasion des élections européennes, le 26 mai, deux philosophes sont têtes de liste. De l’accueil des réfugiés à la gestation pour autrui (GPA), tout oppose le Français François-Xavier Bellamy et le Belge Laurent de Sutter qui se lancent en politique sans rien renier de leurs convictions métaphysiques.
The first sentence is clear. The second sentence mentions (1) the questions of the refugees and surrogacy, and (2) Bellamy and de Sutter who are entering politics, etc. But I do not understand how "tout oppose le" links (1) and (2). Does it mean Bellamy and de Sutter are opposed to (1)? If so, what is the "le" doing there? I can't work out the meaning here. Any help would be much appreciated.
when tested on a multiple quiz the selections were 'Moi et toi avons compris la même chose.' or Toi et moi avons compris la même chose.' I chose Moi et toi and was incorrect.
