Ça veut dire quoi la phrase "pour allumer y a du monde, mais pour éteindre le feu y a plus personne?" C'est un peu bizarre!
One of the test questions reads “Il les a tous lus”. I don’t understand why it is not “Il les a tous lu”. Thanks
The lesson states "some adverbs are placed between the auxiliary verb and the past participle. These include 'encore'.
The Larousse online dictionary gives the following examples of 'encore' [3. dans des phrases négatives] which follow this rule using ne...pas ne...rien ne...jamais.
je n'ai pas encore fini I haven't finished yet vous n'avez encore rien vu ! you haven't seen anything yet !je n'avais encore jamais vu ça ! I'd never seen anything like it before !
My question is, why is 'encore' placed after 'pas' but before rien and before jamais?
Thank You
Both quiz questions are affirmative statements using verbs that do not use the subjunctive in the affirmative.
Thus, the answers do not use the subjunctive.
But the lesson is about using these verbs in the subjunctive in negative statements.
