Lesson and test contradiction in usage of 'ne'?Hello,
This lesson, on 'san que (+ ne explétif) + the subjunctive mood', states that the use of the 'ne' is optional in modern spoken French. Additionally, it is omitted when the main verb is used with a negation. Unsurprisingly, the lesson teaches with examples using 'ne'.
Yet, in your test I was marked wrong for doing so. Specifically, the question was to complete a sentence, which I submitted as:
"Tu as fait tout ça sans que ne Neve soit au courant".
Yet the correct answer is shown without the 'ne'.
Have I misunderstood something here?
Thanks in advance,
D
"Tu as fait tout ça sans que ne Neve soit au courant"
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've been told that you should use "dans" when there is a roof, and "sur" when there isn't. So "on the bus/plane" is "dans l'autobus/avion" and "in the fields" is "sur les champs". Is this a good general rule?
Puis-je avoir why not apostrophe j' ?
why does "en bon etat" not agree with the feminine house?
The correct answer is given as "dernieres decennies." I was always taught that when dernieres precedes the noun, it means "final." Derniere comes after the noun to mean "recent" or "preceding."

I was never good at grammar so it would be helpful if the lessons had a link to the very basics. Like in this lesson, a link to tell a poor grammarian what in heck is the subjuntive ??
What are the situations in which we add « de » like this? Is it a general rule for talking about rates?
Thanks!
