I keep making the mistake of dropping "Ne" on this one because I watch a lot of policiers, and when the cops burst into a room they always shout "Bougez pas !" Note to self: don't model your grammar on TV cops.
I've read all the comments here and in the related links, several times.
It seems the rule be stated as, there's NO gender/number agreement of the participle when there is a direct object following the verb.
Ça vous dit ?
Qu'est-ce-que cette citation veut dire ?
"he must be worried sick at the idea that I'm worried/anxious about his silence" ?
Quoi ? S'il a mal, avec intoxication d'alimentation, cloué au lit, il a plus des problèmes que si elle est inquiété, non ?
Si ça n'est pas correct, je n'en aucune idée.
The phrase in English was "I will introduce her to Amelie" (sorry I don't have accents). The translation given is je lui presenterai Amelie which I take to mean "I will introduce Amelie to her". Should it not be "je la presenterai a Amelie"?
In the example, “Achète-t-il des pâtes?”:
“achète” technically ends in a vowel but it ends in a T sound, right? So why is the extra “t” necessary?
Please help me how to use 'la voilà' le, les voilà etc. Is it an expression or something else? Thank you.
There seems to be a mistake on this page. Everything is in English!
the est-ce que sounds really wrong and nasally
Under "La Gloire de mon père (1990), the last phrase in the second-to-last sentence of the first paragraph reads "...dans un environnement que le jeune garçon perçoit comme un vrai paradis." But the Film 3 audio for that phrase says "...dans un environnement que le jeune homme perçoit comme un vrai paradis."
Beyond the challenging dictée : What a beautiful, inspiring write-up. Falling deeper in love with French culture. Can't wait to google Coluche after supper. Merci!
