How do you remember which countries/regions are masculine/feminine? I find this hard.
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 ?
Does the phrase …..(aller) mieux que…” introduce the subjunctive mood?
Bonjour,
Est-ce qu'il y a une nuance sous-jacente liée à l'utilisation de "en admettant que/en supposant que" pour dénoter une réserve/restriction? Par exemple, si l'on dit "J'irai le voir en mars en supposant/en admettant qu'il n'ait pas trouvé un nouvel emploi ailleurs d'ici là", vaut-il mieux d'opter pour "à condition que" ou même "si" pour dégager une impression plus neutre?
Merci d'avance
Why is this "que l'on" rather than "qu'on" ? I don't understand the "l"
In one quiz, a sentence reads J'étais comme votre fils, jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, j'aille dans la bibliothèque de mon quartier,et que je me mette à dévorer les romans “Donjons & Dragons”. I filled the blanks correctly because the tips said to use the subjunctive, but I don't understand why the subjunctive is used here. "I was like your son until one day I went to the library ...", something that definitely happened in the past, so I would have written "je suis allé dans la bibliothèque ... et je me suis mis à dévorer ..." I'm also surprised by the second "que" before "je me mette". Can you give me some insight?
In today's quiz all the content was in English! I am already an Anglophone...
Was that a glitch, was there an English/French toggle I didn't see or what?
Why does the verb 'détester' not require the ne explétif in this sentence: Les filles détestent que vous les embêtiez.
I would have thought (and did!) that it should be "ces héros ont souffert de la discrimination" rather than "ces héros ont souffert de discrimination"; in the same way that "ces héros ont subi de la discrimination" was noted as a correct answer.
Is there something specific to "souffrir de" that causes the article to be dropped?
