Can one say Nothing at all...rien de tout?
Hi, I was surprised to see that “tous mes amis ont crié” did not use “criés”. Is this because “tous mes amis” is singular (a single group)? And would “mes amis ont criés” be correct (linguistically speaking, not a group, but multiple individuals)?
Bonjour. Thanks for your work and learning resources. I have a question.
In the attention note, shouldn't "I left [from] Paris" be "Je suis parti de paris" without the "e" at the end of "parti" ?
In the second to last sentence, the audio sounds like you've added the word "slash" right after the word "ça." This is not in the text I see here. I did the rest about a week ago - and don't recall if it was there or not! What does it mean? And how is it spelled?
1. can I say 'je les ai sentiées.'?
2. and when and how can I know how and when to use 'Lui' 'leur' 'leurs' etc? Is there a lesson about how to use them and their meanings?
An optional translation is given as: a déjà commencé à me poser problème.
Could you please explain why, in this case, there is not an indefinite article (un) before the word 'problème'.
Thanks
In the sentence "qui vient d'accueillir son premier animal familier" - Why are we using "son"? I've read the lesson still don't understand. Is it because of it being used generally?
In the sentence - "Je dirais que le plus important est d'apprendre à vivre ensemble" why is there no "chose" involved to mean "the most important thing"?And in that same sentence, why is it that "De" is used to express "TO learn"? why not "à"?
Also in the sentence "ce soit bon pour un animal de rester enfermé" is the "De" required because of "être"?
And lastly - "la plus grande preuve d'amour que vous puissiez lui donner" why did this sentence get knocked into the subjunctive?
Apologies for all these questions but this exercise really got me confused!
lesson said english counties ending in shire were male, so i thought kent was feminine and got marked wrong. how do we learn which counties are male/female?
I am being distracted trying to understand the underlining in a number of examples above (and probably shouldn't be, I know). Can't help but feel I am missing the significance - which I am if there is some! The underlining doesn't coincide with le subjonctif passé phrase - the topic of the lesson. Is it just confirming all the examples need the subjunctive?
I don't know what party favours are, let alone what the French word for them might be.
