Is the ¨s¨ always pronounced in this usage (i.e. ¨plus que¨, ¨plus ... que¨), or are there some conditions for when it is and is not pronounced (i.e. ¨plu que¨)?
(This may be covered in another lesson, but might be a useful tip for this lesson)
Why not?
Ils me n'ont pas pris... I thought object pronouns preceded the negation.
I just asked my French son in law if he or his friends or family ever call it "Saint Sylvestre", and he says,
"non on ne dit jamais ca, on dit juste le nouvel an."Is it really very common to say Saint Sylvestre? Could that be regional, eg in Paris as opposed to southern part of the country where he's from?
When do we use ‘eux’ for them, instead of ‘leur?’
Is it "j'ai encore besoin de l'aide de mon fidèle dictionnaire !" Instead of j'ai encore besoin d' aide de mon fidèle dictionnaire!" because it is a specific dictionary that they are talking about?
For future reference thoug... is this how I should ask if I were in a deli for instance. Instead of saying "vous" I use "on" ..thus avoiding the interpretation of "do YOU have" and correctly directing the question "do they (the cafe/deli) have?"... Seems a trivial point but I am curious.
Je ne comprends pas comment la phrase, 'c'est la manière dont les Français cuisent leur viande', soit correcte.
Je pensais que 'dont' s'utilisait pour exprimer les propositions anglaises, 'about, of, etc'. Par exemple, dans la phrase 'la fille dont vous m'avez parlée hier'. Dans cet exemple je comprends l'usage parce que ça signifie la fille 'about whom' you spoke yesterday.
Mais dans le cas de, 'c'est la manière dont les Français cuisent leur viande', je ne vois pas le sens de 'about whom ni of', effectivement je ne vois aucune proposition après le verb 'cuisent', et c'est pour ça que je suis confus.
??
Would "À bientôt !" be an acceptable answer?
I cannot here the "de" in this sentence: on a même échangé nos numéros de téléphone !
Hi,
We can't hear "Apportez un pique-nique."
