Is the negation Ne...aucun/aucune always used with countable nouns?? '(Je n'ai aucune idée.') I am getting confused because of this post here -
https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/questions/view/could-you-also-use-aucun
In this post, Chris mentions that....aucun refers to countable objects, then how can we say - Nous n’y voyons aucun mal. [We don’t see any harm in it.]
Here the noun mal is not countable.
Please clarify.
Si "to go ski" est "faire du ski", pourquoi "would go skiing" n'est pas "faisaient du ski"?
Tu ne vas pas au clup?
....., Je suis allé hier.
Is it correct to use (Si or Non)
Where to use vieux and vielle and naveau and nouvelle
Bonjour.
Désolé. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi cette phrase est incorrecte (it was marked as such in the results of the quiz):
Où est-ce que mets-je mes chaussures d'habitude ?Seems like we have the question word at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the inverted verb and then the subject, no?
Would it be correct to use the three-layer structure I wrote down below, when building sentences with double pronouns? Imagine it like a matrix with three columns:
ME, TE, SE, NOUS, VOUS | LE, LA, LES | LUI, LEUR
Ex Nous vous | les envoyons demain. | e_m_p_t_y
Ex e_m_p_t_y | Je la | leur explique clairement.
Ex Je vous | la donne. | e_m_p_t_y
Ex e_m_p_t_y | Je la | lui donne.
In a search to demystify the difference between savoir and connaître, I stumbled upon an article earlier that suggested something along the lines of "use connaître when you've had prior experience with something" with one of the examples being "vous connaissez [name of place]?" meaning have you been to [name of place]? instead of asking whether the person is aware of the existence of said place. The second example was "Je connais Brad Pitt"; a statement that implies that one has met Brad Pitt before rather than plainly saying that they know of the existence of him. Since this lesson hasn't mentioned anything regarding what I've said above, can anyone enlighten me on this matter?
Why does this question require le subjonctif passé, rather than merely the present subjunctive?Couldn't I just use this?Ils ont besoin que nous arrivions avant le début de la cérémonie
Instead:Ils ont besoin que nous soyons arrivés avant le début de la cérémonie ? But doesn't this translate as "They need us to have arrived before the beginning of the ceremony"?
