Why is personne considered a plural noun? I thought it needed an “s” to be plural.
Ok, we know that: '' Partitive articles, du, de la, & de l' (some/any) are used with mass nouns. Definite articles (le, la, l', les) and indefinite articles (un/une/des) are used with countable nouns.
Then what partitive ''des'' is used for? What is the difference between those two ''des''? The indefinite ''des'' vs the partitive ''des''. Are not there any uncountable nouns that have any plural form or something like that?
Bonjour!
in the example “ça ne sent pas la rose là-dedans” is translated as “it smells nasty in here”. Formerly I had understood “là-dedans” to mean in there. Is it both or am I just wrong. Sorry, I know this is getting off on a bit of a bunny trail...
merci d’avance!
"Elles sentent bonnes" is incorrect, why can't you change bon is this setting? Thanks :)
is Comment tu t’appelles a subject or a verb
Bonjour!
I have recently seen this sentence in Entre Nous A1 book:
"Je suis guide touristique depuis deux ans...je travaille dans tout le pays !"
The speaker is clearly speaking about "all the countries" here, which is plural. So why not "tous les pays"?
