French language Q&A Forum

All three sample sentences for this usage seem freighted with disappointed expectations! Is this the way it’s normally used or just a coincidence?

In UK English this can also apply when someone agrees to come at a future time ("thanks for coming tomorrow") so it’s useful to remember you can’t do the same in French. Incidentally the only way I can fix "pour" and "de" in my brain is to think that you "pour" something concrete..

Hello,

Is there is a reason why some words require a 'consolidated' partitive with the definite article (du / de la) and some only require the 'unconsolidated' partitive (de)? Such as "je bois du vin' vs. nous buvons 2 litres d'eau par jour'?

I am trying to come up with a little rule to make things easier to learn / remember, but it doesn't seem that it works like that.

Thanks,

Alex

Bonjour, pourquoi dans la phrase “Allain s’attend à être licencié”, c’est qu’on manque le “ce que” ?

Hi, 

Not related specifically to the direct subject of this lesson, but I'm interested in the grammar in the sentence "Vous comparaissez devant le tribunal pour conduite..." I would have used "pour conduire...". Is this covered in a lesson somewhere?

Thanks.

Help me plsssss

Please help me. I need it a lot!

It really sounds like 'Telle conversation passionnante' rather than 'quelle'. Am I mis-hearing it ?

Je donne les correct réponses mais l’ordinateur ne les accepte pas. C’est une  problème ici.

In "la surprise n'en sera que plus grande" why "n'en sera que" rather than "ne sera que"?  The lesson says en can replace the preceding de+phrase but I cannot see de+phrase.
