I read somewhere that ne ... pas and ne ...point were the first negative constructions in the evolution of the French language. I can just imagine someone trekking through the woods in Old French times and saying, "Not another step." Or a tired monk in some scriptorium copying over an illegible text and saying, "Not another period."
I.e. something like "They sent us to you" or "He sent you to me"
What is the correct order, or is there no way to correctly order the pronouns in such a case?
"ils nous vous envient" vs "ils vous nous envient"
"ils me t'envie" vs "ils te m'envie"
Hello kwiziq team, I have a short question as follows: am sure I hear the voice saying "je bois le bon tisane devant...", instead of what the text says: "je bois une bonne tisane devant..." - Could you please let me know, if this is because of me simply not getting the right sound? The word tisane should be (f) - Thanks for coming back!
If we had a dog, is same as.. if we were to have a dog, which would seem to be imperfect, not passé composé. You have trained us to use imperfect in this situation: Si nous avions un chien.......

Why is "la flatterie nous plâit" correct ..... and not "la flatterie nous à plâit"?
They (LF) show le chocolat plâit à Marie as an example.
Would "absent" work?
The questions asks for possible translations of "Liliane's son, whom I told you about, lives in Angers."?The following option is marked incorrect, but I don't understand why.
Le fils de Liliane, qui je t'ai parlé de, habite à Angers.
I get that I need to distinguish between Liliane and her son, so the best option is to use "duquel", but if "dont" and "à qui" are accepted, why is "qui" not accepted?
Good morning,
Could someone please clarify for me in the following sentences if they are in the active or passive, voice, please, and if so, why? Thank you.
1. Tu etais sortie. (Pls. forgive lack of accent. Thx.)
2. Le chien sera sorti.
3. It sera entre (again, with an acute accent).
Thank you, Katherine.
I incorrectly did that with the following sentence
Mais quand ma meilleure amie Miriam a décidé de le faire
You explain that following au cas où, you would be tempted to use the subjunctive, but must use the conditional, but you do not say why?
