Bonjour Aurélie,

As I’m re-learning and learning in a non-linear fashion, i would find it useful to have a link in this lesson to other uses of « dont » ...for example to say « including... »

Bonjour Madame !

I would like to ask a question regarding two sentences provided by Kwizbot during my test. I believe you would answer it.

1. Paul, lequel elle fait confiance à, est un menteur.

2. La femme qui j’écris à s’appelle Josiane.

These sentences were to be marked incorrect. But, will the correct sentences be as follows-

- Paul, auquel/ à qui elle fait confiance, est un menteur.

- La femme à qui/ à laquelle j’écris, s’appelle Josaine.  

Merci pour répondre à ma question. 

why not:

Ils l'ont dessinés eux-mêmes.

If canadian in first example is an adjective, what is it in the second? Coz it seems also adjective to me.  

Thanx. 

Why in the case of 'he admires his cat', we use the possessive to translate - il admire son chat, when often in French we translate with the article - le, la, les.

I know this is a simple question but what is the rule when do we translate with the possessive and when do we translate with the article?

Pourquoi faut-il parler si vite? C'est tellement plus difficile à comprendre.......vraiment!!!

Why in this sentence for pizza is not used partitive article de la (some pizza). Thanks

Why do we say "J'adore la France" but "J'aime Paris" ? Why dont we need to add "le" before "Paris"?
