If you don't know the person, how can you use te; si vous ne connaissez pas cette personne, comment peut-on utiliser te?
Surely it is le mien? Please explain
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)?
This point has been already raised in an answer to a previous question but has not received any attention. So would like to pick it up again.
I have two grammar books containing examples with "dont" and numbers which do not state this requirement for "qui". For brevity I will just cite one of them:
"Grammaire Progressive du Français B1 B2", 2019, p.116:
"Ils ont trois grands enfants dont deux sont médecins."
So my assumption is that "qui" is not required, if the "number" is the subject of the next sentence.
Can you use 'tandis que' instead of 'pendant que'?
Can you say "la plupart de mon weekend" or "la majorite de mon weekend" here?
Why not 'chez la tante' rather than 'à la tante'? I thought for a person it should be chez?
Hi, has “ Je vais suivre tes conseils, merci.” been imported from a different exercise incorrectly? It doesn’t seem to belong there at all. Brian
Why is "pouvoir" before "les utiliser" in the fourth sentence? The English to be translated was just "in order to use".
