How would you say "someone hadn't lived there since [insert year]"
in french how do you say they/them pronouns without it being pluralized? I know iel for they but i’m having trouble finding a singular them
In the third sentence of both the English & French text, after the second phrase (I stay at home & je reste chez moi) there is no comma. The way it is written it would sound like a run-on sentence.
I found this exercise too easy to be a B2 level.
Less commonly, à + indirect object may be replaced with the adverbial pronoun y:
Il y pense. He’s thinking about her. J’y fais référence. I’m referring to them. On s’y habitue. We’re getting used to him.Found these here : https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/indirect-objects-2/ So y seems to be able to replace people?Just to mention it, I’ve never heard anyone describe jumping from a diving board in this way. More conventionally, we’d instead say something like “and I’ll dive without fear”, or “and I’ll take the plunge without hesitation”.
Are these two options interchangeable ??
I was marked wrong for using it in one of your questiona
