Après avoir dû oublier l’habitude anglaise d’utiliser des majuscules pour les nationalités - ce qui est parfois un vrai lutte ! - il semble pervers de les trouver soudainement nécessaires dans cet exercice ! Est-ce qu'il y a une règle pour utiliser les majuscules quand la nationalité fait partie d'un nom d'équipe ?
Can some help me further please . Today in the news, Lionel Jospin, the ancien premier ministre said: "Le president pouvait se donner le temps de peser les risques qu'il (faisait prendre au pays)". Is faire prendre a locution? in word reference, I can't see it mentioned. Are there any lessons on faire usage as locution. thanks for your help.

(You eat some spinach.)This explanation is incorrect. There's no such thing as a plural uncountable noun. The very definition of a non-count noun is that it doesn't take a plural inflection.

According to the above rule, each/every month should only be chaque mois, since "chaque" goes with a singular noun, and "tous les" goes with a plural noun. How is "mois" plural? Just because it has an "s" at the end? Very confusing. Please help!
