In the example below, taken from the lesson, could you please explain why la tête is in the singular when translating 'our heads' which is in the plural.
Nous nous grattons la tête ... We're scratching our heads
Thank you
If it can be e acute or e grave why not e natural? The Academy should give preference to simpler solutions!
Jean-Jacques Goldman et Céline Dion!! J'adore cette chanson.
"On me dit qu'aujourd'hui, on me dit que les autres font ainsi..je ne suis pas les autres..non....non"
Bonjour !
I have been told by French people that I cannot apply this rule to the verb commencer à.
For example:
Je commence à faire mes devoirs. J'y commence.
I am starting to do my homework. I'm starting it.
Is it an exception ? Or is it just socially not regularly used ?
Merci !
No.
