I believe the English should say ‘Tomorrow Federer will lose to Roland Garros’.

Bonjour, 

We know that indefinite articles "un/une/des" become "de" in negative form with the exception of verb être and verbs of states. But, does this rule also apply to the negative of interrogative sentence? 

For example: 

Il mange une pomme. -> Il ne mange pas de pomme. 

Is the following also true? 

Est-ce qu'il mange une pomme ? -> Est-ce qu'il ne mange pas de pomme ? and 

Mange-t-il une pomme ? -> Ne mange-t-il pas de pomme ? 

I didn't find any reference about negative interrogative and indefinite articles so have to ask to clear my doubt. Also, please confirm the case with negative interrogative and partitive articles. 

merci beaucoup. 

Est-ce que la mère de Sophie trop protectrice de sa fille à cause de "son divorce d'avec Papa"? Sinon, la phrase me confond.

Can you say "la plupart de mon weekend" or "la majorite de mon weekend" here?

I understand the grammar in this example...

Somehow I lost the test. But, you said that question number three was partially right because I didn't put "je" before "te" and my answer. But as I saw it the "je" was already printed so there was no need for me to repeat it. Am I right or wrong?

Why not 'chez la tante' rather than 'à la tante'? I thought for a person it should be chez?

Bonjour,

I have a tiny off-topic question relating the articles of the nouns before qui/que.

Must the articles always be "les" instead of "des" because the noun is defined by qui/que later on already. Is this the right way to understand it?

The examples in this lesson always use un/une and verb of preference like "adorer" (which we all know must go with definite articles).

So I'm just asking what if I want to say: "They are the girls who I saw yesterday". Should it be:

   a) Elles sont les filles que j'ai vues hier

   b) Elles sont des filles que j'ai vues hier

Merci.

Hello,

I hear a rhotic r sound in majestueuse. Is this a regional difference in accent?

Thank you
