I was taught that adjectives that precede the noun are used with a 'de' and not 'des'. Why is there a difference in the usage of 'des bons moments' and 'de bons souvenirs'?

Thanks

Double negatives in EnglishI don't think that double negatives are bad English, but they should be avoided if they create ambiguity and unnecessary complexity. But "He couldn't not talk to me" conveys different information from "He could talk to me."

So to differentiate between "avoir" and "suis" avoir should be used in the possesive context and suis should be used in the 'personal' context?

Reliable Online Full-Text Translation

Hello All,

This is a general query and not to do with Kwizbot particularly. I've just this morning begun to write a daily journal in French and wish to check it's English translation. I just used a well-known site, R*****o (just in case one cannot name names) and was very disappointed in the translations. For example, 'petit-dejeuner' resulted in 'little-lunch' instead of 'breakfast' :-( And if I had taken it any further? I shudder to think!

To my question: does anyone know of a reliable service that can deal with large tracts of text?

Thank you for any suggestions,

Colleen

While doing negation with 'de' , Hi Laura, I have a query negation with 'de'. I know that with être it stays the same and in case of IL y a and avoir un,une, des changes to de. What about other verbs than the ones mentioned. Does it apply in all cases ?I'd like to know please.
