Is there any list of nouns before which indefinite articles don't change in negative form?
I understand that the choice of verb has to do with how fast you are running. As a former runner, I don't see a great difference between trotting and jogging. My dictionary gave trottiner as a possibility for jog. Should it have been acceptable?
Why does "important" and "magnifique" come before the nouns here? -
Usually the adjectives go after the noun.
1. Dominé par une magnifique abbaye construite en l’honneur de Saint-Michel.
2. C’est un important centre religieux.
in the above why is the answer not brossés, nous is plural, they are brushing their teeth?nous sommes brossé
Le chiffre de 0,274 % n'est pas correct ! La probabilité d'être né un jour donné au cours d'une année normale est de 1/365 = 0,273 %. Or, le 29 février ne se produit que tous les quatre ans. Le calcul correct est donc 1/(365 + 365 + 365 + 366) = 0,068 %.
