Bonjour!
Once again, (toujours!) I chose the wrong relative pronoun. I wrote "ce que" in the B2 writing challenge, as I thought "that" referred to the fact that it snowed last night (a whole idea, not just a noun). The correct answer was "que". Below, is the correct sentence from the exercise:
Il a tellement neigé la nuit dernière (it snowed so much last night)
que le jardin était (re)couvert d’un épais manteau blanc (that the garden was convered with a thick white coat)
Can someone please explain why que is the correct answer in this sentence, instead of ce que?
Amicalement, Cheryl
Curious why faire is used in this lesson, Give me a report right away, and not donner? Thanks.
Please explain the use of hors-d'ouvres vs amuse-gules or entrée
The Collins dictionary provides the expression 'difficile à fair' and in the randomly generated examples of 'difficile' gives difficile d'atteindre; difficile à réaliser. difficile à modéliser. Is there a rule as to when 'difficile' is followed by 'de' OR 'à' and does this apply to other adjectives such as in the expression 'dur de choisir' which is given as an alternative answer in the exercise.
I'm sure there is a lesson on this but my mind seems to have gone blank regarding it. Thanks in advance.
inconsistent?
