Is it acceptable to say ' Celui qui trouve la fève' instead of 'Quiconque trouve...'?
This link tells me that the spelling for le future simple conjugation of appeler is single “l”. Please have a look. Merci! https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/verbs/appeler
Can you use en when saying “J’habite à/au/dans Michigan? I got stumped because of a post saying you can use en, although I though this is when it’s feminine…
Can one say 'avec qui' in this case also?
When doing the writing tests, I find myself regularly struggling with knowing when to place accents (and regularly second-guessing myself too!).
Are there any rules of thumb to help with this? For example, the 'ô' seems to always appear in words which sound similar in english and one would place an 's': eg hôpital, hôtel, hôte, etc.
I generally have trouble with accented 'e's (ignoring the "obvious" accents, such as when using the passé composé and other conjugation rules) so any advice would be very welcome.
Dear Céline,
I would be most grateful to know why "du" appears in "Vous vous rappeler du petit restaurant italien ..." and "de" in "Tu te rappelles ton professeur de maths."
Tu dois rester a la maison
This point has been already raised in an answer to a previous question but has not received any attention. So would like to pick it up again.
I have two grammar books containing examples with "dont" and numbers which do not state this requirement for "qui". For brevity I will just cite one of them:
"Grammaire Progressive du Français B1 B2", 2019, p.116:
"Ils ont trois grands enfants dont deux sont médecins."
So my assumption is that "qui" is not required, if the "number" is the subject of the next sentence.
Comment je peux dire en Français
The french language has many exceptions.
Merci beaucoup
