Just curious...
Are there realistic examples with verb-y-en?
Is it valid (or possible) to have three pronouns in a row?
The suggested answer is "nos", and my answer "ses" was marked wrong. I understand the underlying rule. However, in this case it feels really odd to say "chacun nos provisions"... Is this really natural in French? Is "chacun ses provisions" really wrong in this particular phrase?
There are a couple of examples where it says "aller faire les ...". Is this really needed, or at least natural in French? Would it make a difference to say "Je dois faire les courses", or "J'ai besoin de faire les courses"?
In all your examples, the two subjects are different. But what happens when they are the same? Can you just use the infintive?
For example
Unless I want to buy something, I only need my house key.
À moins que JE veuille acheter quelque chose, JE n'ai besoin que de ma clé de maison.
À moins de vouloir acheter quelque chose, je n'ai besoin que de ma clé de maison.
Quelle est la différence entre très, vraiment, vachement, terriblement?
I write "Elle l'adorait !" , why is it wrong? To replace a statement, we must use "ça" ?
In my A0 entry test, there was a question to see if "un canapé rectangulaire" is correct or not. The answer was not but I wonder why?
