In the sentence, "Pour moi, le pire, c'est le fait que le gouvernement ait contourné le processus démocratique en empêchant l'Assemblée Nationale de voter pour ou contre cette loi.", why is the subjunctive used? Is it simply a variation of "C'est important que..."? I had not seen this usage before. Thanks.
Just wondering if "le repas du midi" is indeed correct for the midday meal? (I thought that it was "le repas de midi", but maybe they are both correct?)
Why is it singular for "globe oculaire?" The English phrase would seem to be "in the shape of eye balls" since glaçons is plural. It would be a bit strange to write in English "eye ball shaped ice cream scoops." There are just too many qualifiers of scoops, IMHO.
I was marked wrong for typing the latter response. Is this because the subject (nous) does not change? Therefore the second part of the sentence must remain in the infinitive?
Pourqoi disons-nous "un étrange personnage", quand "une personne étrange" sonne plus français ?
Would 'doué' have been as good as 'talentueux' here?
