I want to learn how to read french and speak fuently
I gave the answer "ne soit" but the correct answer is "n'y ait". Also in the examples there are egs of both avoir and être in the subjunctive but I don't understand what is governing the choice. Also what does the "y" signify in the answer?
The sentence, "Pourtant, elle le méritait vraiment", refers to something in the previous sentence, which is "Surya n’a jamais gagné de médaille d'or aux Jeux Olympiques, ce qui est vraiment dommage." The 'le' is used instead of 'la' because it refers to gaining the gold medal, a masculine reference, as opposed to "la médaille d'or", a feminine reference. Is that the correct interpretation as to why 'le' is used ?
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 ?
