I am looking at the phrase 'toute la nourriture que j'aimais le plus au monde' and wondering why it's 'au monde' and not 'du monde'. According to Larousse, 'au monde' 'renforce une négation : Personne au monde ne peut dire le contraire'; whereas 'du monde' 'renforce un superlatif : Tout s'est passé le mieux du monde'.
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 chaudBonjour Madame Cécile,
I am struggling with a problem related to relative pronouns. If given two sentences as-
"Prends mes crayons.Je n’en ai plus besoin.”
Now, how will these 2 sentences be combined using a relative pronoun?
Can the answer be as-
“Prends mes crayons que je n’en ai plus besoin.”
Or, would we use ‘dont’ as-
“Prends mes crayons dont je n’en ai plus besoin.”
Which one is correct and what is the reason behind it ?
Also Madame, will the pronoun en be omitted while combining the sentences or will it remain as it is. And why so ?
Aidez-moi, s’il vous plaît.
Merci d’avance.
When is the past subjunctive used in the 'by the time...", if ever.
the way the explanation is written suggests you are talking about more than one pronoun – not just ‘me-moi’. Are there others?
i.e. 2- THEY are placed after the verb………
I am having trouble with a duration of time vs a precise moment. I thought that the sentence, THAT evening went very well, as a precise moment and therefore masculine. Why is it CETTE soirée s'est très bien passé ?
