Bonjour!
Could you please explain that sentense: c'est la preuve que nous sommes donc tout autre que les spotifs? I don't understand when we can use 'donc' in the sentense.
Merci!
I read in a French magazine:
La nécropole de Chellah, l'un des plus anciens sites du pays.
I would translate this as 'One of the most ancient sites of the country.
But 'ancien' before the noun means 'former', which would not make sense. Has the addition of 'plus' caused a change in the structure ? So confusing !
I understand the grammar in this example...
Est-ce que tu sais marcher sur les mains ? - Non, je ne sais pas le faire.Do you know how to walk on your hands ? - No, I don't [know how to do that].But the lesson goes on to say...Note that in many such cases, you add the neutral verb faire to refer to an action.It would be good to have a bit more guidance on which cases require the addition of faire. Is it compulsory in some cases? Is there a rule?
How would you say "someone hadn't lived there since [insert year]"
Two questions: 1) Why Elle aime écouter DE la musique, but J’adore regarder la télé (no de)? My French textbook, Les verbes et leurs prépositions, does not seem to make this distinction, but does not give an identical example. I also found a source that states that Écouter la télé and Regarder la télé can be used interchangeably, suggesting the verb isn’t the issue, but to me the nouns are similarly indefinite. 2) In the negative, would it be Elle n’aime pas écouter de musique? Thanks in advance.
What is the difference between polluer and faire polluer?
Bien joué... always masculine even when talking to a woman????
Hello,
I'm sorry if this has already been spoken about (I have had a look but there is so much on this subject). I was asked the question in the main quiz "________ de tout mon cœur." - Now I thought as it is so deeply expressed and the "note" section in the topic states "NOTE that you can also use the verb adorer to emphasise love of something or someone", I would use "J'adore Sarah". However, I was marked wrong and should have been "J'aime Sarah". So I find the note section misleading. Maybe that should be expressed differently?
Cheers
Martin
Why is the expression not included in the list of given words? Surely it is less common than say enfin, car which are included?

Is it possible to translate this as:
Après que CharlesVIII lui-même lui en fit son épouse.
As the sentence was that he made her his wife ?
