In the statement "mon fils a de grandes oreilles" , why is it not "DES grandes oreilles"? Ears is plural, and "de" is the article, and "grand" is following a feminine plural suit.... I've noticed this with other items, mostly body parts, like toes, fingers, eyes. They all use a plural article "les" but when describing them, it turns to "de"
If I said "he had cats" it would be "il a des chats", right? What am I not getting!?
The text talks about shopping last weekend, not last week. Would it not be more precise to translate " last weekend" to "le week-end dernier" ? Why was this was not permitted ?
I wrote 'rencontrerez' for the future of the verb rencontre, & I got it right in the fill-in-the-blank exercise Horoscope de l'année (Le Futur); however, it doesn't seem to fit into the pattern for either regular -er and -ir verbs in the future or -re and -dre verbs in the future, and it directed me to this page, so I'm confused.
Is there a lesson to understand when to use le/la or ça for example. If I was eating something I like would I say Je l'aime or J'aime ça?
“jamais encore” is not acceptable? You cannot say “ Marco n'ira jamais encore à un concert de rock”?
I used 'le livre titule....' instead of 's'appelle'
is it fine?
Merci
To second what Syliva said three years ago, statements like "La vie, c'est dure" should be counted as correct on a quiz, not just "La vie est dure."
Q1) Isn't this correct?
Vous m'y avez parlé. [You spoke to me there.] (Parler à)
Q2) Isn't the scenario of Indirect Object Pronoun/COI with Adverbial Y possible? If not, why??
Q3) And similarly, vice-versa the scenario of Direct Object Pronoun/COD with Adverbial En is also not possible?? Hence, is it a rule that it will always be [COD + y] and [COI + en] in Double Pronouns??
