Whereas partitive articles du, de la, de l', des and indefinite articles un, une become de or d' in negative sentences [See Du, de la, de l', des all become de or d' in negative sentences (partitive articles) and Un, une become de or d' in negative sentences (indefinite articles)], this rule doesn't apply to definite articles le, la, l' or les which remain the same in negative sentences

Would the past subjunctive have been incorrect in the phrase "before Belinda suggested"?  I translated the phrase as "avant que Belinda n'ait suggéré".

What is the correct order to ask questions in French?

I mean, can we put all of the words of interrogation like (quand qui que) in different places like we do with ou` and the different places can we put the subject and the verb?

for example : ou`te es ?_ou` es tu? - tu es ou`?

I came across this sentence in a recent test.  I understand that 'qui'  replaces the subject (grand-père ).  What is the function of 'lui' ?

« Elle me rappelle Paula. » - She reminds me of Paula.

What would happen if you wanted to replace Paula with a pronoun? -> She reminds me of her.

Is it? - « Elle me lui rappelle. » or « Elle me la rappelle. »

Can you still not say in any context « Elle me rappelle de lui? » (De being forbidden)
