"Same issue with Comment cela se fait-il que ... ? which is simply redundant, as it literally means How come this that ...?"
I mean. All of these expressions are redundant (if translated directly into English)! E.g. "Comment cela se fait-il?" would be "How does that, it, make itself?"
So, while it's good to know that "Comment cela se fait-il que" would strike French speakers as redundant, as a guide to English learners "avoid redundancy" is just taunting.
Why didn't we use comme bébé here, in keeping with the English text, where it said as a baby?
"Il a plu de lundi à vendredi.
It rained from Monday to Friday."
Why is this sentence not l'imparfait, because Monday to friday is for a period of time ? Meaning it rained continually for some time
Hello, i need help with the when and how to use 'l'imparfait' and 'le passé composé'
In this sentence, can I use the expletive 'ne'? Or, it will mean double negative?
Here, de l' is being used as a partitive article? Or de comes with thèmes?
If the second case is true, can we omit the second de here: qui explore les thèmes de l'avarice et (de) l'hypocrisie
Thank you

How do you know when to use tu and when to use vous?
Why "des murs d'escalade" instead of "de murs d'escalade"? Note "beaucoup d'obstacles."
I saw this sentence "Ils ont envie que nous leur donnions notre avis" - does envie here mean 'to want'?
