I'm confused by 'si vous pouviez ajouter' above which I'm not sure how to translate. I would have said 'si vous pourriez ajouter': 'if you would/could add'
Hi there,
When speaking about an object or something being on a body part, do we always use "à"+le/la/les?
example: " ...une plaie immense au bras gauche".
What does it mean if you say ".... une plaie immense "sur" son bras gauche"
Instead of "... améliorer mon français" could we use "... m'améliorer le français" ?
The lesson states that “dont” is a preposition, but I have always thought of it as a relative pronoun?
Thank you!
Voua allez au marché dans quelques minutes
Why not des persils like des tomates?
For example: Je plante des tomates et des persils ?
could you please explain why des. Is this because there is a plural form??
(l'opera) dont le sujet se trouve être un soulevement (des Napolitians contre leurs opresseur) ...how does this translate I wonder...seems like too many words to me...? The opera in which the subject finds themselves/him/itself being an uprising the neapolatians against their opressers...? Shouldn't it be: The opera in which the subect finds themselves in an uprising...A against B?
Very grateful for a better translation of this sentence!

This may be a stupid question but I'm confused by the position of 'le' in these two examples:
'Non, je ne le savais pas ' and 'Non, je ne sais pas le faire'
From looking at the first example I would have assumed the second sentence would be 'Je ne le sais pas faire' - please can you help?
Hi,
I'm wondering why it's ok for the nouns in this sentence (in subject line) to not have any articles (definite or indefinite)?
Thank you!
