Ce qui s'est ensuivi

Hello experts and learners

Regarding the sentance, 'ce qui a eu pour résultat la création de l'Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française',

Would it also be correct to write, 'ce qui s'est ensuivi la création de l'Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française'?

:)

Les airs Hi: I'm puzzled by the use of the plural form "les airs" in this phrase: "les fleurets élancés qui fendent les airs." Why not: "qui fendent l'air"?

Thank you!

Use of less familiar form vous in imperative “warning”?

Leave my sister alone!

Would Laissez-la! Carry a greater sense of gravity than Laisse-la! ?

Placement of object pronouns

Il va leur téléphoner.He's going to telephone themIl va appeler ses parents. -> Il va les appeler.

He's going to call his parents. -> He's going to call them.

In these above examples, why are both the direct and indirect object pronouns placed in between the verbs instead of in front of both of them?

Merci.

Comment - Agree, found it pretty tough going, but a lesson to be learned

I have let my writing and dictation practice slip because I’m speaking French on a daily basis, but a lesson like this one brings home the need to keep at these weekend challenges, keep practicing, keep adding to the vocabulary bank, keep addressing the grammar.

Et toi, ________ as-tu rencontré?

I had this example. Why "Et toi, qui est-ce qu' as-tu rencontré?" is wrong? Can't we use qui est-ce que here?

Que translates as 'as'?

Hi there,

can anybody help with why que appears in the following sentence, please? "Tu dormiras dans le meme hotel que la derniere fois". The translation I have is "will you sleep in the same hotel as last time". I've not come across que as a translation for 'as' before.

Thanks in advance.

Kieran.

"Je n'ai pas non plus vu Luca" or "Je n'ai pas vu Luca non plus" ?

Hi,

I wonder how I should use "pas ... non plus" when there's an auxiliary verb as well.

Thank you in advance.

The piece mentions "monastère que les religieux" but later says "Benoît Autric est chargé par les sœurs" - monks or nuns?
