I have noticed that all the phrases use the pronouns, "le or la". As in:
"La fille dont le frere travaillait avec moi..."
"Francois, dont j'ai rencontre la femme..."
Is there any problem with saying the following for example?:
"La fille, dont son frere travaillait avec moi, a gagne le prix"
"La femme, dont son fils j'ai rencontre la semaine derniere..."
"Amelie, dont ses enfants sont venus chez nous, sont bien eleves"
Why is it “de la pâté à modeler” and not “des pâté à modeler”?
I'm wondering why there is no article before "étoiles" in the phrase "à étoiles multicolores". I was thinking it would be "aux étoiles multicolores".
Hello, I hope you are well.
I'm just wondering when Italian will be added in 2023 (which month)? I have an exam and really would love to use Kwiziq to revise!
I don't know if this has been suggested already, but I've heard this acronym as a rule-of-thumb (not an absolute rule) for which adjectives in French come before a noun:
BAGS (Beauty, Age, Good or Bad, Size)
After reading the lesson several times and reading the many q&a in the forum, I think I may finally understand the difference. Can you please tell me if I am correct? Attendre que + subjunctive clause is to wait for someone or something else to do something; however, s'attendre à ce que + subjunctive clause is different because the focus is on the personal opinion of the person doing the expecting. There is no opinion involved when using attendre que.
Please will you explain the answer to this question : How could you say "The boys with whom Marie is playing are her brothers." ?
The answer given in the quiz is that that the first and second answers are correct. I don't understand why " avec quelles " is correct and not " avec qui"
Les garçons avec lesquels Marie joue sont ses frères.Les garçons avec quelles Marie joue sont ses frères.Les garçons avec qui Marie joue sont ses frères.
Does this rule only apply to verbs that use être as an auxiliary? Meaning that any verbs that use avoir as an auxiliary wouldn't abide by this rule.
