Can someone explain for me the answer for the following question? The answer given is D'immenses vagues
________ immenses vagues venaient vers moi
While I understand the need to change des to de/d' when the adjectives are in front of the noun, I don't quite understand this sentence.
Shouldn't we use LES here? Surely the waves that coming at me is specific and defined and cannot be some random waves.
Or is it because the English translation is "Huge waves come at me", and without the word THE, the whole expression of "huge waves" become non-specific / undefined?
Merci beaucoup en avance :)
had a variation after the comparative that was not exampled in the lesson.
...celui de son frère.
...celle de ce restaurant.
Could the celui de, celle de, be omitted and express the exact same ideas?
Will the inclusion of these demonstrative pronouns and adjectives be part of a future lesson?
Why is it -
Je ne me souviens pas de toi
instead of
Je te ne me souviens pas
The wording in the article implies that this rule only applies to plural nouns/adjectives, but the title does not state that. Could "plural" be added to the title as well to match?
“Nous pensons que c'est une bonne idée.”
Why is ‘que’ used instead of ‘ce que’ if we’re referring to the entire statement ‘c’est une bonne idée’ and not a specific object?
I’m dying to know why!
Salut! In the second last sentence, tarte is feminine, so why is it “LE goûter” and not LA goûter? I’m assuming the meaning of the sentence is “she invites some friends to taste it” or does it mean “the tasting”?
When using avoir as the auxilliary verb in the passe compose, I thought that the past participle had to agree with the direct object... so in the previous exercise there was:
"Nous avons nouri nos chiens" ...are not les chiens the direct object of the verb in that sentence?
"il a fini ses devoirs" ...are not les devoirs the direct object of that sentence...?
...I guess I have got something very wrong here... grateful for any guidance...

If I say je ne pense pas que cest une bonne idee is it cest or ce soit Paul
