Hi there, can anyone suggest a rule that works for making a liason between words pronounced...? Not as simple as before a vowel as I have found in the above examples:

"Nous sommes allées..." (liason pronounced between sommes-allées...)

"Pauline a dit Je suis allée en France..." (no liason pronounced between suis-allée...)

"Ils etaient meilleurs amis..." (liason pronounced between meilleurs-amis...)

Grateful for any tips on a rule that works...

Michael

"Tu ne te laves pas"?

The answer to the imperative of this sentence is given to be "Ne te lave pas". Why isn't it "ne te laves pas"?

Faire I'm having new sandals made.HINT: to make new sandals = faire de nouvelles sandales

Nothing in the lesson suggests "faire" is reflexive.

Ergo: Why is "je me fais faire de nouvelles sandales" correct, in lieu of "je fais faire de nouvelles sandales." ???

What is wrong with j'adore les bonbons?

NOTE that you can also use the verb adorer to emphasise love of something or someone:

J'adore les diamants !I love diamonds!

... elle ait eu son examen” is translated as “she got her exam.” Is that the same as “she passed her exam”? If so, can we just stay with “she passed her exam”? If we were saying she got her degree or got her license, it would not be a problem.
