In the sentence "On a visite le Mont St Michel qui nous a laisses ......", shouldn't it be ".....qui nous a laisse " referring to Mont St Michel?
Also, I think "....on est alles..." should be "...on est alle...", "on est parti..." should be "on est parti...", etc.?
This sentence was an example: Tu as failli y rester. The translation was you almost died.
Couldn't it also be Tu as failli mourir?
OK, here goes my attempt at a literal breakdown of this idiomatic turn of phrase. "The menu is going to put you in full view of all there is." So, what exactly does "en" mean or refer to in this sentence? If the contraction "en" were not used, how would the sentence appear?: "Mon menu va vous mettre plein la vue de ...(quoi)"?
Comme on adore les paillettes et tout ce qui brille. J'ai cousu des sequins absolument partout !
Why have you used les in front of one noun and des in front of the other.
The lesson notes an exception for naître (correctly) and for apparaître. It does not clearly state the exception for apparaître - although I note in discussion it has been mentioned it is because it also conjugates with être in passé composé. As I understand it, and checking other verb conjugation sites, this is correct but not what is shown on the verb conjugation site of Lawless French https://www.lawlessfrench.com/verb-conjugations/apparaitre/
So you can only use these expressions (attaching 'aine') with the quantities shown above? How would I say '35 or so apples' for example?
I've been marked wrong for using - Il est dix-neuf heures et demie. - for 7.30 PM
But it's shown as acceptable in the lesson above.
Why?
Can someone give me examples of se régaler in sentences please? and deguster?
I am confused by the repeat of vous in this question and also in "Vous vous appelez M.Durand." Is this standard?
