Another who has fallen foul of the "Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux" question. Please add the exception to the lesson.
Can I also say - Qu’y mettez-vous? [What do you put there?]
is this correct
Is there a quiz dedicated to this issue? I see the explanations but not how to quiz myself on it.
If I am trying to say Amongst all the sports, I like playing ______ the least or I don't like playing _____ the most, which one(s) of the following forms are correct? Is it a superlative with verbs or with nouns?
Je n'aime pas jouer au foot le plus.
J'aime jouer au foot le moins.
J'aime le moins jouer au foot.
Je n'aime pas le plus jouer au foot.
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?
Is it wrong to say "ils n'ont fait rien" instead of "ils n'ont rien fait"
For this lesson example, there is no preposition here (transitive), yet être is still used as the auxiliary? Doesn't this contradict the rule?
