1st paragraph, 2nd sentence: saurez-vous retrouvez is translated as : "can you match" -- can you say a little about how savoir in the futur is used in this case?
I found one lesson in “Lawless French” that used blanc and banc as an example of “c” being silent due to the “an” being a nasal vowel. Other individual exceptions were stomach, porc and tabac. So as a rule is the “c” silent when it follows a nasal vowel? Is there any other rule that I can use to cull the list of words that need to be memorized?
is, for example, j'habite (or j'hésite) spelt like that even in written texts? If so why?
How can "Ils partent leur travail à 17 h" be wrong and only "Ils quittent leur travail à 17 h" be right? I don't see a specific rule as this type of question was used for both parter and quitter.
Can I say, "Vas-tu a ta chambre? Cache-t'y!" as y refers to a ta chambre? All grammar books seem to indicate that y replaces a + noun (except persons).
Why do we use the definitive article (les) and then the indefinitive/ partitive article?
De plus, depuis 1992, les citoyens françaises sont aussi des citoyens européens et ils peuvent voter aux élections européennes.
I think there is a mistake with the sentence possibilities: "My mother is taking care of the chocolate log".
Possible answers: "Ma mere s'occupe de la buche AU chocolat". "Ma mere se charge de la buche EN chocolat". and "Ma mere s'occupe de la buche de Noel EN chocolat" and "Ma mere se charge de la buche de Noel AU chocolat".
Why some have EN and other sentences AU? I dont see the difference. Shouldn't all the sentences be with AU chocolat?
Thank you
Like emouvant and paisable and se reconnaitre
Wrong: Personne n'
Correct: Aucune n'
Any Reason why?
Thank you for your help
Hi,in the sentence "He's jealous that we're successful ' which translates to " il est jalouse que nous ayons de succès", the ayons is indicative but why is it not avons and if the indicative is different than the present tense form, how should I know and it's not in the Lawless verb tables.Appologies in advance if these are dumb questions.
