is that true?
can we say that
Est-ce que vous connaissez Pierre? Oui, il est bon etudiant

normally nouns need "articles". but "il" can use without an article for giving an opinion about something mentioned.As you can see There is a noun in the sentence.I am curious about whether it is correct or not?

A few questions

I have a few questions regarding this exercise:

1. The phrase 'je me suis sentie méprisée' - I was a little confused about whether to make 'senti' or 'méprisé' agree with the female speaker. In fact I got it wrong, as I see that both should agree. Could you explain the rule, or do you have a lesson I could look at for this?

2. what is the meaning of 'de l'instrumentalisation du vote barrage'?

3. what is the meaning of 'voter blanc'? I have a good idea but would be very interested to hear an explanation.

Thankyou once again, dudes of Lawless French for an interesting dictée, with some good new vocab.

Pronunciation of S in: de moins en moins

Is the S silent for both? The pronounciation seems to differ with the speakers/examples. The woman speaking the following does not pronounce the S: Les ordinateurs deviennent de moins en moins chers. But the woman speaking the following sentence does: Nous y allons de moins en moins souvent.

(1) Quand utiliser "de" après "pas d'autre" et avant verbe infinitif; (2) devoir v falloir

(1) Why is "de" used in the clause "nous n'avions pas d'autre choix que de succomber à" before "succomber"? When is it used this way?

(2) Is it permissible to write "nous devions aller visiter" instead of "il fallait que nous allions visiter" in this context? When must one or the other be used?

attendre/s'attendre àIt is interesting to notice the difference of meaning and usage between the active verb attendre (to wait for / to expect) and the reflexive verb s'attendre à (to expect). Yet so many of the multiple choice questions don't reflect this. Very confusing.
