What about haut/haute (high) and bas/basse (low) ? Do they come before a noun or after?
Are the following 2 phrases both correct: Une aventure à laquelle elle ne pouvait pas résister .....and: une aventure qu'elle n'y pouvait pas résister?
Bonjour Kwiziq Experts !
A rule from the lesson states-
Adverbial pronouns en/y are placed after moi/toi/lui/nous/vous/leur and moi/toi become m' and t’
Can it be elaborated by using the following- en/ y are placed after moi/toi/lui/l’/nous/vous/leur/les.
Accompagne-l’y ! -> Accompany him there ! (Here, l’ is a direct object which is better as compared to lui)
Conduis-les-y ! -> Drive them there ! (Here too, les is a direct object used instead of leur)
Just curious to know whether direct object too satisfy this rule or only indirect object pronouns could be used before en/y .
Merci encore !
Are both of these sentences grammatically correct? I understand why 'ce qui' in the first sentence is correct, but not why 'ce que' would be correct in the second one. I would be grateful for an explanation.
Ce qui à un moment donné est le substrat, n’est pas chaud
Ce que le substrat est à un moment donné, n’est pas chaudWhy is it l'eau du robinet rather than de robinet? On the other hand it is usually de like in résolutions de fin d'année.
I can say, "I am bringing two bottles of wine there" I believe like this:
J'y apporte deux bouteilles de vin.
Can I say, "I am bringing two of them there" like this?
J'y en apporte deux.
Or would it be:
J'en y apporte deux.
Or would you use a completely different construction?
thanks, Scott
My question has to do with the use of the hyphen. Am I correct in assuming that when the pronoun comes after the verb a hyphen must be added?
