Leur carriere vs. leurs carrieresI wrote, "leurs carrieres" since the speaker is describing several actresses and their careers, but this was marked wrong.
I redid the lesson, (link below), which covers this subject, and there are several examples including: "leurs parents" and "leurs chaussures". It seems that this issue has come up in the discussions before, but I am still not clear as to when to use the plural form and when to use the singular form when referring to more than one person and their possessions. Using the singular form makes it sound, (to me anyway), as if these actresses have all shared the same career.
Notre/nos/votre/vos/leur/leurs = our/your/their (French Possessive Adjectives)
I appreciate any help on this matter. Otherwise, it was fun to learn all about Aissa Maiga. I will certainly google her!
Bonne Continuation !
Can anyone please give few examples of [personne + de + adjective]?
Salut!
Maintenant je pose mon premier question et j'ai peur qu'il sera bête, mais - on y va !
J'ai fait le "writing practice" "Bad matchmaker" et j'ai essayé de traduire "we let them get acquainted".
J'ai mis:
nous les avons laissés faire connaissance
et le Kwizbot a mis:
nous les avons laissé faire connaissance.Les = Aline et Stéphane.
Pourquoi puis-je ne pas mettre un "s" après "laissé" ?
Merci pour votre aide ! =)
Helen
What does the "en" in this clause express? Thanks.
Entres - y
Is the negative n'y entre pas or n'y entres pas .... Does the s drop or not ?
Wouldn't it be correct to translate There is a door as either Voilà une porte or Il y a une porte ?
I want, A2 study materials

I used the word bémol for that. Why would it of 'hic' be considered wrong. There are several ways of saying one thing.
In the sentence, ”Tandis que je regarde autour de moi, je me sens émue de voir autant de personnes présentes aujourd'hui”, why is ’pendant que’ not an acceptable alternative ?
