I am not sure when to use: Leur/s, or les, for instance...is it leur with people and les with things?
Why is it "les" (sushi in general) instead of "de" (not any)? Same question later on in reverse - why is it "si vous avez de la Tiger" (some Tiger) and not "la Tiger" (Tiger beer in general)? Somehow I can understand how to use the subjunctive, but cannot master the French articles and prepositions which seem to pose the biggest challenge.
What is the difference between effets and efforts and why is sembler cited as the "best" answer but the final para uses paraître?
I have read that we cannot use same subject both main clause and subordinate clauses.
But I have seen that example in the "bien que" usage
Je suis satisfait bien que je n'aie pas fini à temps.I'm satisfied even though I didn't finish on time.
if it is possible that using same subject in the main and the subordinate clause, what are the rules for using same subject?
I wish your helps
Merci beaucoup
I've seen both of these as phrases on Kwiziq:
Plus je regarde la télévision...Plus je mange du chocolat... (The more I eat chocolate...)
When do we use the article (la, le) vs de la and du. Specifically, why isn't "Plus je mange le chocolat" correct here?
Une solution gagnant-gagnant.
Gagnant- gagnant . C’est parce-ce qu’il y a deux mots gagnants qui suivent le mot solution?
Si on a une solution gagnante? Ici on doit faire accorder gagnant?
A number of places are have a disputed status; in these cases would the form used vary with the opinion of the speaker? For instance, whilst Kwiziq states «au Québec» (as if it's a country), I can find «dans le Québec» being used.
Could someone manage to accidentally imply a particular opinion by using one form rather than another? (Presumably, this would apply more strongly to a less common form.)
(And in trying to find this out, I've discovered in/to Taiwan is «à Taïwan», following the rule for a city.)
