Please help me clarify the usage on the indefinate article in this context:
Is it the same as in English; I don't like the wine or the cheese (when offered both) Je n'aime ni le vin ni le fromage.
and, I don't like wine or cheese (in general) Je n'aime ni vin ni fromage
Thanks.
Your explanations often are confusing. You write "Note that the verb agrees with the object"But what you mean is
"The pleasing thing or person is the subject, and as always, subjects and verbs agree. The person or thing being pleased is placed as an indirect object, either as the object of the preposition à or with an indirect object pronoun.
From time to time, in literature, I come across forms such as "parlé-je" e.g.
"Pourquoi parlé-je de Victor Hugo?"
Is this interrogative form still in use. Is it ever used in speech (probably not) or is it reserved for literary use?
