Salut tout le monde,
Toutes ces questions concernant les nationalités sont ambiguës. Une femme peut dire toue les deux:
Je suis française ou Je suis Française. Ça dépend du contexte. Française est un nom et sa nationalité. « française » est un adjectif et elle décrit qu’elle est de la
In French films, I have often seen "Je vais pas" used instead "je ne vais pas". So presumably "Je vais point" is also used colloquially.
Please how will I know this word is a masculine or féminine nous
Why is it "le résultat en vaut la peine! " Where is the "de" it is replacing?
The lesson states:
To express to need + [noun], you will use :avoir besoin de/d' + (article) + noun
The examples cited show the use of the indefinite article but none include the definite article and it could be implied that the definite article is never used after avoir besoin de/d' which is obviously wrong. It is the old problem of the specific vs the general. Since this is a perrenial problem for French learners, it might be an idea to spell it out more explictly in the lesson.
