"you will use the possessive adjectives son, sa or ses (its/one's here)."  

" possessive pronouns agree in gender and number with the *owned* item (son billet / sa carte / ses parents)."

Not a major issue but referred to by different names in short succession... maybe the term adjective pronouns ?? .. or a sentence to show that they are indeed called by either name.

Also are  'ses' 'leurs' completely interchangeable?

In the sentence "Fiona est la fille que nous avons invitée" - Can it also be translated that Fiona is the girl who invited us (nous as us)?

Please help

Not sure where, what, why the "leur" indirect object is in this sentence..."D'où leur viennent ce nom et langage étrange." Anyone explain? 

Bonjour,

In the lesson you give the following example:

Mes amis sont venus et tous étaient contents. 

But if we change the gender, are these three examples correct?

Mes amies sont venues et toutes étaient contentes. (all of them were happy)

Mes amies sont venues et elles étaient toutes contentes. (they were all happy)

Mes amies sont venues et elles étaient tout contentes. (they were very happy)

Thanks for all your work on this subject. This lesson is long but it's the most comprehensive explanation I've found.

John

Why is this incorrect? 

They will have been experts in their field

Elles auront été .....

When I click on 'explain this' I see conjugation of avoir in future anterior. But the question said I should use être not avoir. One of the examples given has the same construction. Why cant I use avoir? I'm confused now how to form ' will have been. Advice appreciated 

Thanks 

Salut,

J'ai une question à propros de l'usage du subjonctif dans la phrase suivante:

"... malgré le fait que sa technique puisse encore s'améliorer..."

Pourquoi est-ce qu'on l'utilise dans ce cas?

How can I use ni...ni to make this sentence negative: 'L'eleve a compris et a appris'?

Does it become 'l'eleve n'a ni compris ni appris'?

Thanks for any help

excellent essay

Why can't "ensemble" go before "à la plage"?

eg. nous sommes allés ensemble à la plage.
