French language Q&A Forum

Hi there, can anyone suggest a rule that works for making a liason between words pronounced...? Not as simple as before a vowel as I have found in the above examples:

"Nous sommes allées..." (liason pronounced between sommes-allées...)

"Pauline a dit Je suis allée en France..." (no liason pronounced between suis-allée...)

"Ils etaient meilleurs amis..." (liason pronounced between meilleurs-amis...)

Grateful for any tips on a rule that works...

The lesson states "some adverbs are placed between the auxiliary verb and the past participle. These include 'encore'. 

The Larousse online dictionary gives the following examples of 'encore' [3. dans des phrases négatives] which follow this rule using ne...pas ne...rien  ne...jamais. 

 je n'avais encore jamais vu ça !    I'd never seen anything like it before !

My question is, why is 'encore' placed after 'pas' but before rien and before jamais?

Thank You

Is it feminine because of 'assistance' (despite the subject being 'un peu'...)?

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

While attempting this exercise on Le Subjonctif Présent, I had queries in the following sentence->

1. J'étais comme votre fils, jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, j'aille dans la bibliothèque de mon quartier,et que je me mette à dévorer les romans “Donjons & Dragons.

In this sentence, Madame, why is the Subjonctif used in the second blank ? Can’t it be “je me mets” ?

2. Oui, et j'ai peur que cela ne lui fasse un peu peur. 

Here, Madame, why does Mme. Aurélie use “cela”  instead of “il” when referring to a Harry Potter novel ?

Merci encore Madame ! 

Prenez soin de vous et restez en sécurité.

Bonne journée!

The question asked to clarify if son was masculin or feminin reflecting "Le professeur." The answer was "cannot say" but why isn't it masculin? Can't professeur be feminin by adding an "e" at the end? 

The "I'm forty" appears twice (around question 3 and 4).

Elle vient de it self means just then why juste is added
