Hello,
I see there's an example: "Quels bonbons tu as choisis?"
I guess that because "bonbons" is a COD in this question and it stands before the verb "choisi" so the verb has to accord with the COD --> it becomes "chosis"
But when I use deepL to try another example: "Which dress did she wear?"
The answer is: "Quelle robe a-t-elle porté?"
My question is shouldn't it be: "Quelle robe a-t-elle portée?"
Or is there an exception I didn't know about? More examples relating to this is very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Quand est-ce qu'on utilise "pendant que" avec le subjonctif?
... s'il vous plait.
Does soi-mêmes with an 's' also exist? Can you give some examples? How does it differ from soi-même without 's'?
- Dans ce cas, on est soi-même responsable. [one is responsible oneself.]
- Dans ce cas, on est soi-mêmes responsable. [we are ourselves responsible.] Is it correct to write it with an "s" (similar to vous-même(s) or nous-mêmes for plural meanings)?
I notice all the examples in this section refer to "ne pas". Can other negatives like rien and jamais be used?
In the translation of "Before I applied for my current position...", you used postuler. Is "faire une demande de" not a possibility ?
Hello,
Why is it not 'tu n'as pas de clope?'
I thought we used a partitive article rather than a definite article when doing negations? So, in this case, de vs. une.
I’m done—what else can I say?
Isn't the causative always to or for the subject of the verb?
Sorry to be off-topic but this is bugging me. In this page is written “ Il fait beau expresses that the weather looks nice”. This does not sound right (to an old, lifelong English speaker like me). “ Il fait beau expresses the feeling that the weather looks nice”, or similar, sounds better. I don’t think one can “express that …”, IMHO. (Otherwise, I am enjoying the course :)
