I can’t find anything in this lesson or links about third person plural verbs. It would be useful to have examples of this as well as the situation of il/ elle + inversion for verbs ending -ter (which is mentioned in a question below). Am I right in thinking the inverted forms are eg achètent-ils and achète-t-il?
Why does this sentence change to the vous form of you?
Why does the verb 'détester' not require the ne explétif in this sentence: Les filles détestent que vous les embêtiez.
Why is suivie made feminine in the sentence, "Ils ont passé leur samedi à flâner dans les rues de la ville, avant de rejoindre l'hôtel pour une petite séance de sauna, suivie d'un somptueux repas gastronomique" ? If it is an adjective I cannot determine what noun it is modifying.
Sa femme peut-être avait toujours voulu visiter la côte ouest ? Mais les mariages sont souvent mystérieux 😆
... car le bureau de poste local n'offrait plus ce service.
In this section of the sentence the 'S' at the end of 'pluS' is pronounced. This seems at odds with the lesson 'Ne ... plus = no more/no longer' which states: -
Note that when plus has a negative meaning (no more), you don't pronounce the final 's', except when you do the liaison with a vowel following ('z' sound).
... in the exercise plus is followed by 'ce' and 'ce' does not start with a vowel and as such should not be pronounced?
Does the phrase …..(aller) mieux que…” introduce the subjunctive mood?
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
Where's the rest of the Scrooge story? I'm only seeing acte 1 scene 2??
