In the C1 writing challenge "A bad matchmaker" the only word accepted for "matchmaker" is "entremetteurs".
Shouldn't "marieurs" be also accepted?
Is the reason, perhaps, that the first is a word for amateurs, as in the story, while second is a word for a professional?
Elle veut que son français soit parfait !
English translation here is: She wants her french to be perfect!
This is confusing: if Le Subjonctif has 2 different subjects - then is she wanting her own french to be perfect (which would not be Subjonctif)or someone else's (like her daugthter's or her female friend or the professor wants the student's french to be perfect)?
"Je ne sais pas qui lui plaît" and "Je ne sais pas ce qui lui plaît".
Does the "ce" change the meaning from who(m) to what?
I've re-read the lesson on when to use "d'autres" and "des autres" and I don't quite understand why "the taste of others" is "le goût des autres". I thought that would only be the case if it was specific other people "the taste of the others", and in the case of this film title it should be "le goût d'autres" - a general case of the taste of unspecified others. What am I missing here please?
