When do we use ‘eux’ for them, instead of ‘leur?’
Hi, in the example "François, dont j'ai rencontré la femme le mois dernier", can one say "François, dont la femme j'ai rencontré le mois dernier"?
Can you explain grammatically the construction if this phrase? I get that it means "we got home from school", but it seems unnecessarily complicated. Could you not say "nous étions retourné de l'école"?
Hello, please advise if ´bien entendu’ is an adverb in the phrase J'avais bien entendu parler de ce nouveau poste and parler should be a participle
Thank you
It might be grammatically correct but it’s kinda creepy! Kwiziq has to cater for all tastes I suppose.
I believe that the adjective arrière is invariant; hence, no need for the plural. If I recall, there was another instance of this in this weekend workout.
Hi,
This sentence:
Palme d’Or is the highest prize awarded every year at the Cannes film festival. = La Palme d'Or est la plus haute distinction décernée chaque année au Festival de Cannes.
Why is it décernée with the extra "e"? Thank you
Why is it "en weekend" instead of "un weekend"? Surely,the article is called for rather than the preposition. Thanks.
In the second sentence, the conversation has "lui" although it is hard to distinguish "lui" from "leur" with the speaker's intonation. For the remainder of the conversation, the conversation has "leur" when referring to the recipient(s) of the gift. While I can get the difference after listening for multiple times, I still find it strange that the two are not consistent.
