In the sentence "Bien qu'il ne reste qu'une petite partie du pont aujourd'hui, elle offre encore une vue spectaculaire sur le Rhône et la ville." it seems le pont is masculine but in the second clause is is referred to as elle. Should this be il or am I missing something?
A post further down says "soit..soit is used when followed by anything other than a verb". I’ve just done a quiz elsewhere where the answer they wanted was "Soit tu mets du déodorant, soit je te quitte"! Is this a usage that exists but isn’t good French? If so, what’s a better way to express it? I can’t imagine "soit que" is very common and "que" + subjunctive verb seems to be a yes/no situation (eg que tu le mettes ou pas) rather than offering two alternative verbs.
Thank you.
mine is the James se présente and
Entretien avec un vampireI don't understand "nous a le plus marqués" Maybe it should be "nous avons le plus marqués" ?
Following on from Frank's question, in the passage:
"...j'ai noté toutes ces bonnes idées",
how does one know if it's those (ces) or your (ses) good ideas ?
In the sentence 'when France won the World Cup ' I used remporté instead of 'gagné' but it remporté wasn't given as an option. Is there a subtle difference in their respective meanings?
Pour moi , cet article est très intéressant. Je ne savais pas que Il y a 29 pays où le Français est soit parlé. Autre curiosité que j'ai trouvé ce que au Viet Nam était une colonie française et que cette langue est parlé dans les relations diplomatiques comment aux Comores. Ici en Colombie le Français a devenu une langue populaire entre les jeunes colombien.
When I click on the text "et installent projecteurs et caméras", the translation you provide is "and install projectors and videocameras". There are several ways to translate "projecteur" into English: it can also mean floodlight, spotlight and searchlight, besides the obvious translation "projector".
They weren't entertaining Marshall Jodl by showing him movies. And even if they were, why would they need more than one projector? Given the context, a much more likely translation of "projecteurs" is "floodlights".
