In the sentence "il suffit d’observer ce que font les autres et les imiter," why have the verb (font) and the subject (les autres) swapped places? Shouldn't it be "il suffit d’observer ce que les autres font et les imiter"?
The sentence is taken from this text: "https://www.lawlessfrench.com/listening/bise-a-la-francaise/"
Thank you in advance.
The quiz asked me to find correctly placed adjectives and I thought colors are supposed to go after the noun? Unless there is a exception here i missed.
I don't understand this sentence at all. Perhaps de rever, but first person singular? The rest of the exercise is in the past, it has already happened.
I’m wondering what pesant is grammatically in the sentence "Ces informations valent leur pesant d'or !" - a gerund? Or is pesant d’or a fixed expression?
Regarding the section "Case of 'à la maison' vs. 'chez moi' ": Would it be correct to use "à la maison" to refer to second and third person subjects when returning to their own homes, e.g. "Elle rentre à la maison" for "She is going back home", or "Tu rentres à la maison" for "You are going back home", etc.?
(The example given for "à la maison" used the first person (je) only and the next section describes subjects going to other people's homes, and not their own).
Merci en avance!
