I notice 'je me souviens écouter' is preferred over 'je me souviens d'écouter'. Is there any thinking on when you would use the 'de' and when not ?
"Les enfants demande à leur mère de leur raconter ce qu'ils doivent manger pour être forts. "
Can anyone tell me whether the expression is être fort or être forts?? Or if both are acceptable, then when should I use each form?
Is the plural used to describe one funeral?
By virtue of "petits," "mollusques" is masculine plural. But, "délicieux" seems to agree with "chair." "Chair" seems to be part of an adjectival phrase. So, this means "delicious tide" rather than "delicious mollusk." I remember hearing that "délicieux" does not mean the same thing in English. There was a news report when President Macron used it on an international trip and all the English speakers got the wrong idea. Any comments?
The restrictive que in ne ... que can be placed either after the auxiliary verb, or in front of the word it's restricting. You should place que in front of the word you restrict.
Thanks for clarifying the use of de qui v. dont. Can I use de qui to refer back to an animal? For example: "Le chat de qui je parle est très mignon." Or is "qui" really just for people?
