I am uncertain why it is "de plus belle" and not "de plus beau".
It seems to refer back to le fou rire, which is masculine.
Maybe "plus belle" is a fixed term?
Hi,
How often can I take the quiz of the topics in my notebook and how long do I have to wait after first attempt to do it again please? thank you.
In the expression ”...where we'll be able to chat at length.”, is it possible to use ’en détail’ instead of ’longuement’ ? My dictionary gives both as possibilities.
Even google nor Deepl could translate it correct, so I had no chance!
Sur votre gauche, vous verrez des panneaux qui vous montreront le chemin de la place.
Can we say 'à votre gauche'? thanks in advance.
I like to have models to follow, and your lesson gives the following model: Rappeler + à + person being reminded + [infinitive]
Yet your quiz question "She reminds us to take our jackets"
is given the correct answer "Elle nous rappele de prendre nos vestes"
The model suggests that 'à' is a necessary part of the correct grammer but here it would be marked as wrong. I am disappointed and confused by the lesson that offers a clear model that is not correct.
example from this lesson - Et leurs anniversaires ? - C'est bientôt !
contradicts with example from another lesson about c'est vs il/elle est - Où est ta tasse? Elle est sur la table. (rule: use il/elle est when giving opinions/short statements about specific things.)
"C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French
leur anniversaires - we are specifically talking about their aniversaries. so shouldn't we use il/elle est ? or maybe ils/elles sont ?
I was wondering why "d’où le fait que" triggers the subjunctive here, when it’s describing an established fact?
In english, if someone is upset, or if something's going on, i might ask "what is it?". I'm not exaclty asking the meaning of something but im wondering about a situation if that makes sense.
So would the french translation in that scenario be "c'est quoi/qu'est-ce que c'est"? Or does that only refer to a noun.
I hope I'm making sense.
