The question is:We don't hate that she is therelà. Why is Nous ne haïssons qu'elle soit là.
"this classic French dessert" = "ce dessert classique français" and "the melted lemon butter" =" le beurre fondu à citron" How do I know which adjective goes first?
'If you dont like sweet potatoe, there are other vegetables". Surely these "other vegitables'' are a specific number of vegitables available for eating at that meal. Not the whole vegetable kingdom. So why not "des autres"?
I'm confused by the correct answer to this question:
>>La population du Nigeria est de plus de ________ personnes.
I wrote "un cent million de". However, the correct answer was "cent millions de".
Why do we drop the "un" in this case (unlike the examples)? Why is "millions" plural, even though it is only 1 million?
I see that some verbs that take de or à and the infinitive drop the preposition when an object follows the verb. As an example, choisir de drops the preposition when referring to an object as follows:
Je choisis de partir
Je choisis la cérise
As opposed to rêver that keeps its preposition in both cases:
Je rêve de partir
Je rêve du paradis
Is there a rule for this?
Bonjour :)
In this statement: If there is a pronoun before the infinitive, ne pas precedes it.
Which pronoun are we talking about here? Direct or Indirect? The examples above exhibit both, so I'm a bit confused.
Merci :)
Pont de l'Alma with a capital 'P' but pont des Invalides and pont Alexandre III with lower case 'p'. Is that correct?
'qu'il m'a donnée pour mon treizième anniversaire.' - the link you provide with this question, 'special cases of past participle agreement with avoir' describes that, in passé composé with avoir, the past participle must agree with the object when the verb is preceded by a direct object, but also explicitly states that the rule does not apply to indirect objects. Is not 'me' in this case an indirect object (he gave it to me)?
