C'est le vin le plus sec que l'on puisse trouver. À quoi se réfère le pronoun l'?
Why is this not in Imparfait? It's a description and the family, presumably, continues to love dogs.
''je l'emmene diner ''Don't we need to put ''pour or de'' between emmener and diner?
In the question "Nous ________ les cheveux.” (We brushed our hair) (HINT: Conjugate "se brosser" (to brush) in the compound past (Passé Composé)), why is “nous sommes brossé” preferred over “nous sommes brossés”?
I think that “we” is plural, so the correct response should be “brossés” with the “s”.
Je ne suis pas sûr qu'il ________. I'm not sure he's coming.(
Je ne pense pas qu'elle ________ compter." I don't think she knows how to count.Hello,
The lesson says: "In the case of de + [people], the preposition de remains and is followed by a stress pronoun (moi, toi, lui, elle, nous, vous, eux, elles)"
But in the video, there's an example "Vous connaissez des francais?" and the answer is, "Oui, nous en connaissons". Shouldn't it be: "Oui, nous connaissons d'eux"?
I was wondering where we are supposed to place these constructions within sentences and clauses. Some translations show after the entire clause or sentence, some show after the verb.
- Nous les avons tous les deux vu(e)s
- Nous les avons vu(e)s tous les deux
- Lui et son frère sont venus tous les deux
A general lesson about saying 'both' to describe people and objects should be made.
Could anyone explain the use of 'nous' in the second example but not in the first. I would see the constructions as similar.
Is the use of 'nous' in these cases optional?
Thanks guys
Two phrases:
Je pense au match de football de la semaine prochaine.
Je pense à mon mariage le mois prochain.
Question: why preposition "de" is in front of "la semaine", but it is not in front of "le mois"?
