If it can be e acute or e grave why not e natural? The Academy should give preference to simpler solutions!
Greetings,
In the example above, the speaker pronounces the "s" in 'tous'. What is the rule here? I am confused on the s being pronounced. The sentence is:
Vous faites tous vos devoirs?
Par example, pour exprimer une action qui s'est passée juste avant une autre, pouvons-nous dire:
"ils étaient venus d'arriver quand la pluie s'est arretée"
It seems like you are trying to explain two concepts, but aren't explicit about it.First compound subjects take plural verb forms: Sarah et ma soeur sont allées à la plage.
Second the subject pronoun changes form from its singular usage:
je --> moi
tu --> toi
Why isn't it "qu'on ne s'est pas vus"? Thanks.
In "Je vais à Paris" the s in vais is not pronnounced, but I had also undestood that when the word ends in a consonant, and the next word is a vocal, you pronounce the last letter to kinda carry the "flow", I forgot what the proper name for the rule was.
According to the rule analysis, using en for feminine countries and a for masculine countries, why is the correct answer for the question "la?" Je vais visiter la France cet ete. Should the sentence not be Je vais visiter en France?
Hello,
How does one know how to conjugate pronouncements like "Vive les fiancés"? My first instinct is that vivre should use the third person plural of le subjonctif here, because les fiancés is third person plural. However, is it "vive" instead of "vivent" because it is a fixed expression? Any more examples or fiches pédagogiques would be helpful, thanks!
