The listing of all of the cases can mislead people that may not have done previous lessons; either assume people know the difference between qui and que and cut out the listing or assume they don't and shine a light on:
(Tout ce) qui = Subject of the following verb
(Tout ce) que = Object of the following verb
I answered incorrectly "au haricot vert", and was wondering if the difference is audible? Though perhaps this is something to know context rather than hear.
Whilst "dans" obviously translates to "in" - I would never say I'm going to stay in this hotel in English; I would say that I'm going to stay at a this hotel in English.
However, I was marked incorrect.
If these both mean I am, when do you use each one?
could you say 'c'est l'heure de mon rendez-vous'
Referring to “vous adorerez cette autre idée : modifier un pyjama en flannelle défraîchi.”
for
“you will love this other idea: making alterations to a pair of faded flannel pyjamas.”
I can only find “flanelle” (one “n”, not two) in the dictionaries. And this is a female noun. So should these answers all be “…en flanelle défraîchie.”?
"...nous ne sommes pas des surfeurs expérimentés." Why not 'de' instead of 'des' ?
J'étais soulagée après que tu as réussi ton exam. Here, the main verb is in the plus que parfait and après que is followed by a verb in the passé composé. Isn't that backwards; shouldn't the main verb be in the passé composé and the subordinate verb be in the plus que parfait?
One possible translation heer is given as "Est-ce que l'on peut aller prendre un café? "
Is the "le" at all related to the café as direct object? Could you explain/provide examples of other uses of "l'on" in such contexts? Merci en avance!
