French language Q&A Forum

Bonjour,

I have a tiny off-topic question relating the articles of the nouns before qui/que.

Must the articles always be "les" instead of "des" because the noun is defined by qui/que later on already. Is this the right way to understand it?

The examples in this lesson always use un/une and verb of preference like "adorer" (which we all know must go with definite articles).

So I'm just asking what if I want to say: "They are the girls who I saw yesterday". Should it be:

   a) Elles sont les filles que j'ai vues hier

   b) Elles sont des filles que j'ai vues hier

Merci.

Dans ce texte la prononciation de "la ville" n'est pas de tout claire !

In the imperative, what is the rule for pronouncing the letter vs the letter sound ? I’ve heard both and don’t understand the difference. 

Even though I've read and practiced a lot with them, I still can distinguish which is which, why in this story "Je voulais les garder" but not "J'ai voulu les garder". Please help me!

The detail says to use Mon, ma or mes but the first to examples use son, sa, ses.  Why is that?

1.       Ses déclarations étranges auront déconcerté le public.

how to write this in passive form?

Why is the expression not included in the list of given words? Surely it is less common than say enfin, car which are included?

Regards,

would 'j'ai achete pour ma mere un weekend' be correct ? ( cant do the accents )

Hi, in the line “nous avons développé des intérêts communs” I believe I’m hearing a short connecting word/syllable between “intérêts” and “communs”. Am I imagining this?

I was going to choose the right answer when I second guessed myself because of the "de". How would you say "I'm watching from beautiful hills"? What would "Je regarde à les belles collines" translate into, or is this sentence completely incorrect?
