I was struggling to remember/understand this rule of pronoun and indirect and direct order and how it changes depending upon me/te etc or lui/leur etc and came across 'the selfish rule' in a grammar book which helped.
Me first, object second, other people third, then Y and En.
I guess it's another way of remembering the rule as given here, "The order is ALWAYS:
me/te/nous/vous (before) le/la/les/l' (before) lui/leur."

Why just "debut juillet" instead "au debut de juillet"? Apparently I can't submit this question without more detail. I don't know how much detail I can give. It's a simple question
Why do we not capitalize the names of places? Are there any instances where we will capitalize a letter?
J'ai vu que quelqu'un dèja demandait ce question, mais je n'a pas vu un repose. Pourquoi est-ce qu'il n'y a pas un change à sujet dans the phrase suivante: je lirai jusqu'à ce que je sois trop fatiguée?
