I've seen the word weekend spelled with () & without () the hyphen in different French publications. As this is an adopted English word is there actually any guidance for how to correctly spell this or is it just a matter of style?
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.
Is it acceptable to say ' Celui qui trouve la fève' instead of 'Quiconque trouve...'?
Personally I think the vocabulary:- sauter is harder than se jeter, and I would add it to the list/ swap them.. this is a good test for listening for the imparfait.. thanks
I translated this as 'Ce sera tellement rigolote' presuming we were talking about the 'farce' which is feminine. It was corrected as rigolo masculine. ?
Im just a bit confused since before i could always say Le ....... But now, they are correcting me, just because of the ''le''.
This never happended before, please explain to me, why this is happening?
From the answers I see to this question in this discussion, we are expected to look through something like 1200 verb conjugations to find which ones fit this category. Even on the Lawless site for Irregular ir verbs, it lists the irregular ir verbs, but only one that changes in the future to an er verb conjugation. Where can one get a simple list of the ir verbs that change to er verb conjugations in the future tense?
Can one say 'avec qui' in this case also?
