Link for Malgré le fait que + Le Subjonctif and En dépit de + infinitive = despite/in spite of + [doing something] is not available
'When only very few rights were granted to women' is translated as 'où l'on n'octroyait que très peu de droits à la gente féminine'. But in the dictionary it seems to say that this noun is spelt 'gent' without the 'e'; while 'gente' is a form of the adjective meaning 'gentil'
The correct grammar would be to say: None of them is.... i.e. 'none' is treated as singular and hence the use of 'is' and not 'are'. Thanks again for a fantastic French course!
Salut tout le monde !
I was asked to translate "tu sais ce qui est le plus efficace ?", j'y ai répondu "do you know who is the most efficient?" mais la bonne réponse est "do you Kong what is post efficient?".
J'ai du mal à comprendre pourquoi les deux ne sont pas corrects, j'apprécierais une explication. Merci beaucoup ! :)
Bonjour! I saw that interdire was used as follows: "....interdit aux buralistes de..." My question is: why are we using "à" in this phrase? In Spanish, we use a personal "a" in front of people but I don't know if that's the case in French. Would be very grateful for an explanation, thanks!
Is there a list of all of the adjectives that go before the noun? I feel like there is a list somewhere that I am missing.
Is "demie" feminine form (with the "e") because heure is feminine? Merci.
I would like to go back and improve A1. My score is currently 77%. How do I get it to have me review what I do not know well, which I thought was the whole point of the system.
Currently 7 of the 10 topics it gives me I have over 90%, and five of those are over 97%. These are not the topics I need to improve! I have no shortage of topics with lower scores in A1, obviously, with a 77% average in A1.
I am just clicking the "Test now" button next to A1.
Bonjour Madame Cécile !
The verb “éviter” as was asked in a quiz stated-
Oui, évitons-.......... une situation embarrassante !
(Yes, let’s avoid them an awkward situation !)
The accepted answer stated - leur as opposed to les (answered by me)
So is it that the correct expression is-
Éviter à quelqu’un -> To avoid someone ? (Indirect object pronouns)
And then about things, would one say-
Éviter quelque chose -> To avoid something ? (Direct Object Pronouns)
Merci pour votre réponse!
Cordialement, Shrey.
