Que est qu’il voudrait saviors?
I find it difficult with the article 'de'. I have reviewed the grammar lessons here to brush up my concepts but when reading online articles I still flounder. e.g. In this article, why do we write la dangerosité du Covid-19, en cas d'opposition. Should it not be de Covid and de l'opposition? https://www.rfi.fr/fr/am%C3%A9riques/20210529-%C3%A9tats-unis-vaccination-des-plus-jeunes-la-difficult%C3%A9-de-convaincre-parents-et-adolescents. Thank you in advance for helping clarify.
You say that most words ending in -e are feminine, and yet don't give a single example... Same for masculine.... Wouldn't it make sense to actually list at least a few of the most common words that someone at the A1 level should know? I would be more likely to remember a rule if I'm looking at examples of that rule.... I mean, isn't that the point of examples? To help clarify and to help it stick in you brain. You only give examples of words that are the exceptions. While I understand your point, it seems kind of odd to me.
I have not seen any examples or reference to using the phrase when the subject is/are thing/s rather than people. I may be missing something very basic here, but can the phrase be used with things, or only when the pronouns represent people? If it can be used, is it actually used?
Why wouldn't you abbreviate ta or ton to t' before a vowel?
I answered that this word was not feminine, even tho it ends in -e, and was marked incorrect. A subsequent lesson noted that romantisme is an exception and is masculine. Please clarify, thank you
