I translated 'don't you think that markets are more expensive ' as 'Ne penses-tu pas que les marchés soient plus chers'. It is an inverted verb in the negative form. I'm confused.
A couple of questions:

I struggle with the passive voice..."par" is supposed to be a signal of it....is "the rules have to be established" a passive voice? Why isn't the answer ....is faut que les règles établissent?
Thanks so much for your help with this

I always understood that if you use 'on' that you had to match it with 'son mécontentement 'ie. 'On' with 'son' and 'nous' with 'notre'
Can anyone clarify ?
I've checked a couple of dictionaries, and I think oxide is not a french word, and it should be oxyde.
so would Tu la joues be wrong or just another way to say the same thing?
