A small French correction.

Bonjour Madame,

There is a line in this comprehension as - “Ça n’entraîne pas des frais très très importants.”

Should it not be ‘de’ ? I am taught that whenever negative comes, then indefinite article ‘des’ changes to ‘de’. Being a beginner, I may be incorrect . Please provide further clarification.

Bonne journée !

Avec + aucun d'entre eux

Can I use "avec aucun d'entre eux"

For example

I refused to share the money with any of them. J'ai refusé de partager l'argent avec aucun d'entre eux.

Vous avez passé votre examen

"Vous avez passé votre examen" according to google translate (and my intiution) means Vous avez passé votre examen.

But here it says: "You took your exam".

Question needs rewording Nous sommes professeurs.'' Who can be speaking? Alain and Georges, Georges and Fiona, Fiona and Judy, Fiona, Georges. Why can't *Fiona* or *Georges* be speaking on their own? e.g Fiona is talking to a group of people about herself and another person. She says "Nous sommes professeurs". Likewise for Georges. The sentence does not require two people to be speaking simultaneously."

Languedoc-Roussillon.

I came across this Q/A

Mes parents vivent ________ Languedoc-Roussillon

The only answer accepted is dans le Languedoc-Roussillon yet I have seen numerous instances en Languedoc-Roussillon cited in many august sources.

I will reference only one from INSEE:

"La pauvreté en Languedoc-Roussillon" - www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/1894450

Is INSEE wrong?
