Queries pertaining to grammatical concepts Bonjour Madame Cécile !
I have been attempting tests at Kwiziq and have faced a few problems which I would like to ask here-
1. C’est le mois d’avril et il a commencé ______ faire très chaud.
Here, would the answer be “à/de” ? How to judge when to use “commencer à / “commencer de” ?
2. Regarde cet arbre sans fruits. Mais _________ qui est devant nous en a beaucoup.
Here, which of the following is grammatically accurate - celui-ci /celui ? I opted for “celui-ci” but the answer was “celui”. Why, Madame ?
3.J’ai vu quelque chose dans ton sac.
To form the negative of the sentence which is correct -
Je n’ai vu rien/rien vu dans ton sac.
This is not highlighted in the lesson- Ne ... rien = Nothing (French Negations)
4. Ces hommes parlent sans cesse.
To form a question would we write-
Qui parle/ Qui parlent sans cesse ?
Merci encore Madame Cécile pour votre aide continuel.
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!

Hello!
I would like to know where we place a pronoun in the sentence using "faire + l'infinif."
1) Tu as fait changer tes rideaux ?
If I would anwer to this queation using a pronon "les" for mes rideaux, "Yes I had them changed," where would the pronoun be placed??
The same question...
2) Je me suis fait faire les ongles.
Where do we place "les" the pronoun if we say, "You get them (your nails) done!"
Is there a certain rule that we need to know and follow??
Thank you very much!!
Umi
Why will it not accept "plein de the" instead of "beaucoup"? Thanks.
