Why doesn’t the past participle take an extra ‘s’ with ‘nous’. Isn’t there more than one person, like ‘ils’?
Bonjour,
Est-ce qu'il y a une nuance sous-jacente liée à l'utilisation de "en admettant que/en supposant que" pour dénoter une réserve/restriction? Par exemple, si l'on dit "J'irai le voir en mars en supposant/en admettant qu'il n'ait pas trouvé un nouvel emploi ailleurs d'ici là", vaut-il mieux d'opter pour "à condition que" ou même "si" pour dégager une impression plus neutre?
Merci d'avance
The speech on this recording is very unclear. I really struggled to make out the words, even after listening to each phrase multiple times.
If I remind you of your nanny is 'Je vous rappelle votre nounou.' What is 'I remind your nanny of you'? Is it 'Je rappelle vous à votre nounou' but I don't think this is correct!

Hi. Could 'sauf' have been used in "...mais il n'y avait rien d'autre à faire qu'à téléphoner au garage et attendre"?
Also, could 'rien de plus' be used instead of 'rien d'autre' or do they not mean the same thing?
I was wondering would these two sentences I made up be correct? I'm trying to understand the difference between the 12hr and 24hr.
Je me couche à vingt-deux heures
I go to bed at 10pm
Je me révielle à neuf heures
I wake up at 9am
Thanks

You and them are going to have fun!
as a lifelong English speaker (and teacher) this sounds odd, well ungrammatical actually. Surely we would say, or at leadt write:
You and them, you are going to have fun!
as in French.
