In the conditional phrase in the second sentence, we have "...si je ne voulais pas être père...". I have terrible hearing, but I thought I heard d'être père. I know that vouloir does not take a preposition to introduce an infinitive, so I was dubious. I certainly did not hear an elision of the 's' of pas with être. Are my ears deceiving me?

Des or de les?

Are there times when you say "de les" instead of des? For example, in this sentence ... Ils essaient de l'atteindre dans l'arbre afin de l'empêcher de les manger versus Ils essaient de l'atteindre dans l'arbre afin de l'empêcher des manger??? Thanks for any feedback.

Why J’en déduis instead of je déduisIn this sentence “ J'en déduis donc que vous vous fournissez en matières premières dans la région ?”, why is it j’en déduis instead of je déduis. What does the ‘en’ stand for?

Pronunciation of 'je suis à'

Is it right that you don't pronounce the 'S' at the end of 'suis' when it's followed by 'à'?

I had thought anytime a vowel sound follows a word ending in 's', you pronounce that s. Like with 'Je dine dans une...'
