Pronoms PersonnelsIt is not that I don't trust my French teacher but she gave us some homework and I am not sure I know which is the right construction when utilizing the correct pronouns and in which position within a sentence. The first one is this:
Elle a acheté un paquet de cigarettes pour son père.
For replacing " de cigarettes pour son père" with appropriate pronouns, could it be one or both that could be employed:
1. Elle a acheté pour lui.
or
2. Elle lui a achetè.
The second sentence drove me nuts because there are three verbs within this sentence thus I am not sure where to insert the pronoun:
Je me suis fait couper les cheveux.
1. Je me les suis fait couper, or
2. Je me suis les fait couper, or
3. Je me suis fait les couper?
Ce sujet est très difficile!
Thanks,

Bonjour. I read the lesson. The lesson does not seem to advise when it is appropriate or better to use être or faire. Does it absolutely not matter? Or are there situations where être may be better to use than faire, or vice versa? Merci.
Hi,
“les descendants” is a noun, so should the translation be more along the lines of “the French-Canadian descendants of those original colonists”?
I couldn't tell the difference among 'Je suis allé '(mas) et 'je suis allée'(fem) ou 'nous sommes allés' et 'nous sommes allées' from the audio. In everyday speech, is there any change in pronunciation?
Hello, I have been reading FAQs and searching the internet for a way to make a study group or become a teacher in KwizIQ. Is it possible, and if so, how?
Thank you!
Hi. I am trying to work out why the pronoun "EN" is found in this sentence. Is it there to replace the implied "DE la soirée" as in "On était déjà à notre troisième cocktail de la soirée" ? Or am I way off track ? Thanks for shedding any light here.
(And another thought, could it have equally been "On y était déjà à notre troisième cocktail" with the pronoun "y" used instead of "en" - in this case to replace the implied "dans ce bar" ?)
Why it says "docteur ès sciences mathématiques" rather than "docteur en sciences mathématiques"? Does it have different meaning?
You have two different lessons that both cover regions and states. One says to use "en/au/aux" and the other says "en/dans l'/dans le." (I'm simplifying just to point out where they differ -- there's more info than that, but other than that they don't clash.)
The article that includes "counties" in the title doesn't actually include any counties. The article that includes "countries" in the title does include counties.
So maddening. Both lessons need to be rewritten.
