I listened to the first phrase many time, and it definitely sounds like she says "et" and not "and."
In the following:
ATTENTION
lui means either him OR her (depending on the context)But I've been given the following information which I am struggling to reconcile with:
When you combine personal pronouns with prepositions such as avec (with), chez (at the home of), and pour (for), they change their form.
Daniel habite près d’ici. On va chez lui ? Daniel lives close by. Shall we go to him?
Sarah veut nous rejoindre. Il y a de la place pour elle? Sarah wants to join us. Do we have space for her?
**why do we use elle in the above? isn't Sarah an indirect subject here? "Is there a space [for] Sarah**
missing liason with pas and encore no?
Why is it "des problèmes" and not "de problèmes"
Judging by the comments below and my own experience of this lesson i think it could still be tweaked to improve it. It think it would be helpful to:
* add - write out - relevant (new to some) vocabulary for decimals, commas and currencies
* emphasise how the rules for writing numbers in French are the same (or different) when used for currencies vs other contexts
* provide and describe a few more complex examples, including the outliers (eg uncommon use of a decimal point in French), with at least one example of a French number which translates to three or more decimal points in English. The latter would be very useful because it highlights how our Eng/French translation brain can get confused (evident in these discussions) because it looks identical to the English version of numbers in the thousands.
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?
