"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?
When I enter "I think about her" into google translate, it tells me the correct translation is "Je pense à elle"
Why would it not be "Je lui pense" ? Is 'she' not the indirect pronoun with this verb?
Is it only when 'à' translates to 'to' rather than 'about'?
Thanks
I lost marks more for the wrong word or phrase rather than the wrong grammer. Most of the grammar details for each section I had got right or nearly. I don't know if there is any way of helping us to know or guess the correct form of words.
It's all good practice though, so thanks.
My question is.. What is the meaning of il est vraiment bon aujourdhui " when we only use faire for weather..
Le jour d'après / Le jour d'avant
These can only be used on their own, and will mean the same as le lendemain and la veille, although they're a bit less elegant, more used in speech.
what is meant by "these can only be used on their own"? thank you
Le jour suivant / Le jour précédent Le jour suivant, Ali Baba retourna à la grotte.On the following day, Ali Baba returned to the cave.Le jour précédent, ils avaient quitté leur vieil appartement.On the previous day, they'd left their old flat.As for le jour suivant (on the following day) and le jour précédent (on the previous day), they are used in a past context just like le lendemain and la veille, but always on their own.
