So if you're speaking of a german city starting with H, does the "de" contract to "d' " or not? Je viens de/d' Hambourg.

"Mathilde a rentré la voiture avant qu'il ne pleuve"

Would someone be able to explain the need for the ne in that sentence? Or link to the lesson that explains it? I'm stumped.

(it was translated as "Mathilde put the car away before it rained.")

Correction of conjugated verb

The test question: My mates are not going to celebrate the new year.

HINT: Use Le Futur Proche

I wrote: Mes potes n'iront pas célébrer la nouvelle année.

Correct answer: Mes potes ne vont pas célébrer la nouvelle année.

If 'vont' is Le Présent and 'iront' is Le Futur, then why would my answer be incorrect?

Include other formsI feel this lesson should include or at least link to other forms like fais-moi confiance or ne lui fais pas confiance. Trust no one! Don't trust your friends! I think we use those more.

Leurs témoignages ___ont paru_____ louches à la police. This is Q 6 — why is the adjective in agreement with the subject?

Stewart H.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Examples showing agreement without an object pronoun.

In the Weekend Challenge: 'My plan for the day of the exam' one of the translations required is 'that I'll have chosen the day before'.

The answes given are:

'que j'aurai choisiS la veille' OR 'que j'aurai sélectionnéS la veille'

There is no object pronoun in either of these answers, so why are the past participles 'choisi' and 'sélectionné' writen with an S added for agreement?

Thank you
