I learned that "ma" changes to "mon" if the female noun starts with a vowel, for pronunciation.
But does this "mon" changes back to "ma" if there ist another adjective in between?
(maybe not very relevant to this topic, but by seeing the examples, it reminds me of this)
Excuse-moi, Im a french beginner and I have a question about the conjugation part:
Beside je, tu and vous, how about il and elle or do we conjugate them into the same as the original verb?
Merci beaucoup
Is there any particular reason why "des poissons sur du papier" is correct, but not "du poisson sur des papiers" Thanks!
Same question about « how would you say someone needs … » three times. First time I chose the « avoir besoin de » and the « dois » option - wrong. Next time I chose only the « avoir besoin de » option to correct the first quiz - wrong. Third quiz I go back to choosing both - wrong. What gives? It’s the same question with different subject/object?
So, the first verb aller conjugates as normal, but the second verb does not conjugate, but remains in its original form?
In this sentence “ l’un des montants qui sont affichés sur l'écran”, could you use montrés instead of affichés.
Thanks
Hi, I have just taken the French proficiency exam and this was a question I answered incorrectly, but I am confused as the answer seems to be opposite of the original sentence:
Je crains qu’il tombe malade. » Quelle phrase a le même sens et grammaticalement correct ?
Correct answer: Je crains qu’il ne tombe malade
Your answer: Je crains qu’il est malade. I don't understand the error and I don't understand the use of 'ne' but not 'pas.' Can anyone help?
Mes filles sont bonnes en maths, mais ni l'une ni l'autre ne sont bonnes en français.
Why no pas after "ne sont"
"Le français est parlé couramment par ________ 200 millions de personnes dans le monde."
French language is spoken by more than 200 million people around the world.
I put "plus que" since that felt like "more than" but the correct answer is "plus de." I'm struggling to understand this since it doesn't fit the same structure as the lesson examples (e.g. French is spoken by more people than Italian).
Thanks for any clarification!
