sur la façade duquel on peut lire...
on dit 'duquel', même si 'façade' est un mot feminine ?
I was asked to write "she's going to hurt him" and I answered "Elle va faire mal a lui" (accent on a). This was scored incorrect, with a proper answer of "Elle va lui faire du mal". Given that there was no way for me to know whether whe was going to hurt him physically or emotionally, I believe my answer was correct. If not, why?
Is this also used if you want to use "before I'd do that" in a sense of "I'd never do that". I don't know if this makes sense, I mean like "I'd die before I'd do that". Or would that be a hypothetical clause?
What is the rule governing whether or not the reflexive construction is used? It seems clear with personal verbs like brushing ones teeth or cutting one’s hair, but not clear at all in the context of having sandals made.
Translations:
Later, we are going to have a new flat.Later on, we had a new flat.Later, we will have a new flat.I thought it was strange that you have two future English forms with 'will' and 'going to' but I can't find an explanation of the different translations and appropriate use in French.
e.g.) not only is it sweet, it's also sour!
