I noticed that the recording of "deux plus deux égal quatre" has no liason after the second deux but "deux plus deux égale quatre" does. Is it just a coincidence or is there a difference because of égal/égale? I find it difficult to know when to use liason before a vowel and when not to and can't find anything that really explains it.
I tried reporting this as a problem, but was redirected back here to submit it as a question to the French experts, so here I am.
So instead of using Je I have to use J'ai ? Am I understanding this correctly?
sur la façade duquel on peut lire...
on dit 'duquel', même si 'façade' est un mot feminine ?
I am confused. J'ai monté les escaliers.. Why.. unless I am a carpenter and I have a set of escaliers on my shoulder, surely I remain the intransitive subject .. I am not doing anything to the stairs.. I am climbing using the stairs. I am carrying myself, not the stairs. Could you use je suis monté par les escaliers? to escape the trap?
Why is the plural "vos" used instead of votre? What part of this sentence is plural? I thought this was the formal "you" not plural
"J’ai commencé par laver et changer les draps, ce qui n’est pas une partie de plaisir toute seule"
I don't understand "toute seule" here. It appears to be behaving as an adjective, not an adverb.
If it is an adjective, what is it supposed to be agreeing with ?
