French language Q&A Forum

Questions on ‘partir, sortir, quitter’ which comprise one, some or all answers are so inconsistent, I find it very irritating. Sometimes when I choose all three (excluding ‘laisser’ of course), only ‘partir’ is the answer deemed acceptable. sometimes, when I select ‘partir’ only, all three are given as correct. More context please.

I can't speak for the other English speakers around the world, but as a native-born & bred Yank I can tell you that the word "whom" is almost nonexistent in American English. About the only places you will see or hear this in the States is in literature, academia, formal correspondence or maybe in the entertainment or news media. The reality is that Americans overwhelmingly use "who" in all of these cases to the extent that it is the accepted norm (even though it may drive the English professors crazy).

"qui nous permettent entre autres de dater précisément des pigments."

Could you please explain why 'nous permettent' is used in the above sentence and not 'nous permettons'

Thank you
