Couldn't you say "même les personnes les plus puissantes du monde"?
Hi, I have a very similar question... with this example from the quiz...
Tu ________ me piéger mais ça n'a pas marché !
You wanted to trick me but it didn't work!HINT: Conjugate vouloir in Le Passé Composé (conversational past)I think I understand that the 'wanted' with vouloir is a one time 'wanting'...is that why we are using the passé composé? In my mind, I think of wanting as an undetermined amount of time as I don´t see a trigger for something specific. Could you help me understand this better? Perhaps I am still thinking in Spanish more than in French? Thanks so much!In the last sentence, the correct response uses "fait de". Why isn't "rend" acceptable? Is it because rendre is strictly = make something + adjective, not make something into something else + adjective?
Google Translate allows it.
This page offers it in several examples:: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-french/much
It seems they are equally valid alternatives.
In this example why is the verb to be present? Elle est assise au coin de la cheminée.
