"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?
Why is « Quelle une jolie caractère » not alternative please?
Please refresh my memory. Is there a construction: "Il faut que vous (subjunctive)? E.g. Il faut que vous soyez ici demain?
Il ne joue pas souvent au foot, et toi ? -Je n'y joue pas souvent non plus.
I don’t play often either.
This is one of the examples above.
The first sentence uses J'ai passe' for "I have passed." To me, this should be je passais (imparfait). The writer is not describing a unique instance of an event in the past but rather he is making a general description of his actions in the past. He is describing multiple instances.
‘Comme j’ai toujours eu du mal avec les maths...’ ‘As I’ve always had a struggle with math...’
I think that ‘always’ indicates a continued and repetitive sense so why is the verb not in the imparfait?
Thank.
I don't understand how the example "Le disque jaune" can mean "The amber light". Jaune=yellow, so I accept it can also mean amber. But how can disque mean light, doesn't it normally mean disc? This can however be a thing i haven't learned in English, as neither English nor French is my native language.
