This kind of structure seemed a bit strange to me. When we say "Je me lave", it is like "I wash myself" and it's easy to compherend the existence of reflexive pronoun(me) there. But in this case; it's not easy.
So, my first question: Why do we double the pronouns?
Second question:
"Je les lave tous les jours." "Tu les brosses tous les soirs"
Are these sentences unacceptible or grammatically false?
Would be be incorrect to say " j’ai (tu,il,elle,etc) une fièvre " ? As in English "I have a fever" as Cécile notes “j’ai une bronchite" or is it alway "j’ai de la… (I have fever)"
“Quel plaisir de recevoir DE tes nouvelles” and “J’espère recevoir DE tes nouvelles”. When do you need to add the “de” after “recevoir”? Does it depend on the noun, in this case “tes nouvelles”? Because it seems other nouns can follow this verb without a preposition e.g. “Quel plaisir de recevoir ton cadeau” and “J’espère recevoir une lettre”.
Why is On besoin d'amore incorrect? Wouldn't either On or Nous be correct?
Hello - I cant work out why in the penultimate response the reason why the verbs conjugated like this when the subject pronoun is nous "qui nous maquillera et nous coiffera pour le soir."
I would have thought it was nous maquillerons et nous coifferons
Can you explain?
Is this 2nd person plural? And if it is why is it for a singular person?
Hi, I am confused as to when to pronounce the t in vingt, for example, in vingt-deux, vingt-cinq? In some videos and sites I hear them pronounce it, in some I don't. So when do we exactly? Or are both acceptable?
