French language Q&A Forum

Hello everyone, 

I was wondering if this sentence must always be written in this Order: 

François, dont j'ai rencontré la femme le mois dernier.

The lesson says that there are cases in which we find the possession separated by a verb, but there is no explanation about whether that is a rule that must always followed or is another way of expressing things.

Is it correct to write it like this?

François, dont la femme j'ai rencontré  le mois dernier.

Thanks!

Can someone explain why sometimes you make a "direct object" do something and other times an "indirect object"?  Examples:

Je le fais asseoir à côté de moi (direct object) - I make him sit next to me

Je lui fais sortir la poubelle (indirect) - I make him take out the garbage

Elle lui fait cueillir les fleurs (indirect) - She makes him pick the flowers

There has to be a unifying rule that explains this distinction.  Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks.

This is so tedious.  I will never have to take an exam in French. I just want to communicate in French. I will never be in a position to make such fine distinctions as this. This is just discouraging.

hi.  is there a subtle difference between the words 'pétantes' and 'pile'?  Should you use one in certain circumstances?

Is it correct? "J'ai faim parce que je ne mange pas le déjeuner"

Hi, I don't understand the construct Regard-ons for Let's watch in today's quiz. Thanks

Do you have any lessons or notes on why the [nombre] occurs after les années.

Ex- "Vous étaiez étudiants dans les années quatre-vingt."

Why can’t we say je  l’écoute sur Boucle instead of en boucle ? 

For example, I am wondering why the phrase je me fais faire de nouvelles sandales (I am having new sandals made) requires the "me" - would the meaning be changed if it was omitted?
