In "économiser beaucoup de l'argent", why is there a definite article after the "de"?
Hello,
I misheard what should have been easy -- the "est-ce que" at the very beginning of the exercise. It sounded something like "elle secourt" to me. Thank you.
Pont de l'Alma with a capital 'P' but pont des Invalides and pont Alexandre III with lower case 'p'. Is that correct?
Why does "de" mean "in" here?
Can someone explain why I answered this incorrectly? I answered "nous sommes brossés" and it told me that the correct answer is "nous sommes brossé". The rule quite clearly states that the past participle should be modified to agree in number and gender though. We is inherently plural, so shouldn't an "s" be added to the end? Or am I missing something here?
I would like a list of adjectives that change their meaning when placed before or after nouns
Does effort refer to the skiing activity or to the production of the raclette ? The sentence seems a bit ambiguous.
I gave elle s’assoit avec son fils but this was corrected to elle s’assois which isn’t the 3rd person .
'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)?
