I would like to know a specific rule regarding the use of the subjunctive.
I learned that the subjunctive is not used in a sentence where the same subject appears in both the main and subordinate clauses.But when I came across this sentence, I got lost.
“Non, je ne pense pas que je sois trop jeune !”
I've searched everywhere for the reason why the subjunctive is used. In vain.
However, I can't help but assume that the main clause is negative, so the subjunctive should be used for the subordinate clause.
So, I'd like to enrich myself with a correct information, please.
Thank you in advance for your help.
In section 3 of the written exercise, Actor Omar Sy, in PLF the pronunciation of "une" in "la série une" sounds like "un" & not like "une".
Plural subject (nous), a single (non-paired) body part for each person: why the singular for the body parts (la tête) and not plural? "Nous nous grattons la tête"
In this statement, the correct answer is to use c'est instead of il/elle. Why is that?
Why is "elle doit partir, ce qu'est triste" wrong
Contracting "Ce qui"
I thought DE followed the negative. In which case(s) is that true?
I’m wondering what pesant is grammatically in the sentence "Ces informations valent leur pesant d'or !" - a gerund? Or is pesant d’or a fixed expression?
