I can meet her today = je peux la rencontrer aujourd'hui.
Why do we use "la" instead of "lui'? I'm confused as to when to use le and lui, la and lui. What's the difference?
I was taught that adjectives that precede the noun are used with a 'de' and not 'des'. Why is there a difference in the usage of 'des bons moments' and 'de bons souvenirs'?
Thanks
Ex) Il est monté la tour Eiffel.
Il l'est monté or Il l'est montée?
Why was qu’un demi du sac de riz wrong? It should have been une moitié and I can’t see why. What makes du sac de riz feminine?
And how do I know when this question has been answered. I get no email notifications of new answers. Thanks.
