In the passage, ”...nous nous sommes tous assis pour partager un festin”, I only hear one nous.
My answer:
Et, en dépit d'elle, Katia commença à espérer.
Lawless answer:
Et, malgré elle, Katia commença à espérer.
I'm not sure why my answer was not accepted. Appreciate any insight. Thanks!
Why is it "des" here, when there is (presumably) only one Martine?
It seems to me in the phrase
Je n'aime pas non plus certains supporters qui peuvent être violents ou même racistes
It should be either "violentes ou racistes" ou "violents ou racists". If the reference is "supporteurs" , I would think it would be masculine, making the adjectives masculine.
Isn't "après-midi" masculine, and if so should it not be:
cet après-midi sera consacré
How do you know what gender a word is if it's not a person
Would someone please explain to me why you would write "Je me brosse les dents deux fois par jour." in stead of "Je me brosse mes dents ..." I'm uncertain why you couldn't use mes even though you're also using the reflexive verb. Merci!
