We say «J'aime LES fleurs MAIS je dessine DES fleurs.»
Why?
I did a small double take with this question because the English "He’s been to" is a past form of "he goes to" not "he is ". You can say "he was in France" but with a slightly different sense, more vague and without any emphasis on the going (UK English ). Perhaps this is my blind spot, but it isn’t a French construction I’d met before so I’d like to know if it’s a. common and b. idiomatic /informal?
(Apologies for reposting this question from a week ago: it’s gone from Q and A and wasn’t answered. Maybe the Helpdesk removed the post because I queried a similar sentence "On a été faire les courses = We went shopping" in a passé composé exercise.)
I now know that 'comment ca se fait que..' is followed by the subjunctive, but i don't understand the reason for this. could someone please explain?thank you
Why is "Merci de m'avoir aidé aujourd'hui, c'était super !" not translated as "Thank you for having helped me today" It’s not the same thing as ‘thank you for helping me’ – or is it?
I don't understand
I was marked wrong for soyez parti (singular). Couldn't the "vous" refer to a singular person where past participle would be parti without an s? What am I not seeing here?
Hi Team,
Does the following sentence work in French:
Cela ne tient pas compte d'effets négatifs de la lumière bleue qui perturbe notre horloge biologique.

If there are multiple adjectives after c’est, do they gender match the subject?
