How could we deduce that these were plural, and not " de potentielle répercussion professionnelle" ?
Why is the subjunctive used after "C'est une bonne chose qu" but the indicative is use after "Heureusement que"..... both seem to be an expression of preference which normally has the subjunctive following??
Jai choisit cette expression mais elle n'était pas juste. Votre ordinateur a remplacé 'des' avec 'les'. Peut-être que vous puissiez regarder ça ?
Je fumais depuis..... is used above. The Imperfect with Depuis. In another lesson it said that only the present tense is used with depuis. Which is correct?
I'm fairly sure that "Tu fais quoi demain?" should be accepted here rather than "Qu'est-ce que tu feras demain" no? It's not listed under the acceptable answers, but I think it should be granted the informal nature of the conversation. Can someone confirm?
I'm reading https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/plus/, and there's either an error or an ambiguity. In the sections of plus used as a comparative or superlative adverb, it mentions liaising, but in the section for its use as a negative adverb, it says "In negative constructions, plus is always pronounced [ply]", with no mention of liaisons, which to me means that you should never liaise in the negative. It gives the example of "Il n’est plus en France", which based on that rule, would mean you neither pronounce the S nor liaise it to "en". I asked about that example on reddit, and several native French speakers said that liaising was optional, with some saying it depends whether formal or informal. So, which is it?
Hi,can anyone help please...in the French sentences. 1 " dites- moi ce qui vous intéresse" and 2 " dites- moi ce que vous préférez, in the first sentence ce qui is described as the subject of the verb,and in the second ce que is described as the object of the I'm generally ok with ce qui being followed by verb in case 1 and ce que being followed by subject pronoun or noun in case 2. So, in case 2 is vous the subject and in case 1 what is the subject/ object/verb relationship ?
Why are we using de in front of faisons in the last sentence ?
