Ils me feront decouvrir..

Salut,

I was wondering if someone could help me understand the following sentence:

Ils me feront découvrir cette ville bilingue que je ne connais pas encore

Could one also use "Ils me montront cette ville bilingue..."?

Thanks

the "que" is not heard well

In this sentence, the "que" is not heard well, it sounds like "tous"

It seems to be lost in the liasion?

je récupérais les vêtements que les gens oubliaient parfois dans un sèche-linge.

In a quiz my answer to "You [formal] are cold" was "Vous êtes froid" but it was marked wrong with the correct answer supposed to be Vous avez froid. Contradictions the lesson entirely !

I've seen: imparfait or passé composé ?

Why is "I've seen the neighborhood evolve" translated passé composé instead of imparfait? "I've seen" describes something that happens over time and is not ended, it's continuous and I'm not done seeing. Isn't that the case for imparfait?

...sans que je n'aie jamais...

I am looking at this sentence - 'Toi qui me faisais sauter sur tes genoux pendant des heures sans que je n'aie jamais l'impression de t'ennuyer' - and wondering about the n' before the jamais. He is saying 'without me ever feeling', not 'without me never feeling'.

Countable vs uncountable

Bonjour,

I was working on the partitive articles and was wondering if these sentences that I did myself are correct?

Thanks

He had more experience than I did'He had more experience than I did'is translated as ' Il avait plus d'experience que moi' I think that should be a translation of ' He had more experience than me'. Whereas 'Il avait plus d'experience que j'avais' which may not be grammatical or good french (is it? )but does not convert 'than I did', to 'than me'. This kind of approximation in translation whilst necessary in real life is not helpful in the learning process as we are having to guess at what you want .
