Dear sir
Why mes progrès not mon progrès please explain
It isn't pleasant
I find it confusing that a more literal translation, like “this doesn’t please me” wasn’t offered as an option? If it’s simply equivalent to “je ne l’aime pas” (or however one constructs the idea of dislike using ne aimer pas), why bother using a verb (plaire) whose meaning is subtly different from the answer’s translation (aimer)? In English, there is a difference between being “pleased by your selection” and “liking your selection” with the former implying an enjoyment of the selector’s taste, perhaps a hint of expectation exceeded, whereas the latter simply means that the chosen thing is one I like. Does this nuance not exist in French?
what does it matter if you are saying le ou la in front of the different subjects
