I have read that the relative clause after coming the "ne...pas" required the subjonctive.But I have a question.İf I am sure about the matter do ı have to use subjunctive?
for example
Je n'ai pas d'amis qui peuvent m'aider( can ı use indicative if ı am sure that I really know that I don't have any friend who can help me)
And am not getting this at all...
"deux plus deux égal quatre".. you say the égal is an adjective... the égal must somehow be "working" on the two numbers like a verb and I am not seeing how an adjective can work in this position?
I grew up using "font" although happy to use égale.
qui+est = qu'est ??
Why not "elle devait" since she had to work hard over a period of time to pass her musical exam?
I selected "pour" yet the answer also included pendant/durant. My understanding is that the latter has to specify a time duration. But this statement doesn't. Can you explain why it can be considered a correct way to translate the sentence? Thanks. Valerie
Why is "Il est dix-heures du matin" incorrect?
Bonjour,
Just want to ask why there is "le" in this sentence. It translates to english as we can if we want to, so why the le?
Merci :)
why is et elle adore les livres and not des livres? is't it loving just books and not some specific "definite" books?
Earlier in the sentence, I understand why it's "de délicates pâquerettes blanches" instead of "des" (because the adj precedes the noun and that causes the plural partitive/indefinite article to change from des to de) but I don't understand why that's been done to the tulips too.
«Quelques» et «peu» ont-ils la même signification en français?
