bonjour!.

"Ils avaient fait..." 

"Il avait fait..." 

These two sentences sound same. Is there a way that we can understand the correct sujet?

This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate être/avoir/faire/prendre/vouloir (+ avoir) in the pluperfect tense in French (Le Plus-que-Parfait)"

Actually Murat, they do sound different as the first one ils (plural) will have a -z sound which is a mandatory liaison , sounding -

Il Z avaient fait

The second example il ( singular) has no ‘s’ so will sound -

I Lavait fait

Hope this helps!

« l'année où Hitler est né....that would be a precise time an action took place, right? The lesson confirms that such a date would be an, not année. I thought devaient être meant should have been...shouldn't it be les gens doivent avez été? »
