Why is it "des" here, when there is (presumably) only one Martine?
Il va leur téléphoner.He's going to telephone themIl va appeler ses parents. -> Il va les appeler.He's going to call his parents. -> He's going to call them.
In these above examples, why are both the direct and indirect object pronouns placed in between the verbs instead of in front of both of them?
Merci.
Et pour les petits creux et autres faims de loup
To my ear the "et" in this sentence sounds like the way I would (try to) pronounce "eux". Is the pronunciation here idiomatic ?
These listening exercises are really helping me, Thanks!
How would you say Marc didn't watch it? What is the order of the object pronouns in passé composé when the sentence is negative?
Is this brand name white out?
I’m sure the speed was intentional, but it was a difficult listen! I still can’t catch the de in "prendre de tes nouvelles" (tho knew it ought to be there) nor the dès in the last sentence.
In the last sentence, "I will go there to cheer you on.", the word 'there' is translated as 'là' and the use of 'y' was not accepted. Is it just a question of emphasis? I searched for a lesson to clarify the usage of 'y' and 'là' but was not successful. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
One question was: Je __ ai invité pour Thanksgiving.
The next was: Je __ ai appris que la France...
The answer given for the first was "je l'ai" and for the second was "je lui ai."
Why?
Est-ce plus correct à dire "Elle s'est rasé les jambes, elle les a lavées aussi" ou "Elle s'est rasé les jambes, elle les est lavées aussi"?
