Ordering multiple stress pronouns (other than moi)In the test, I was marked wrong on this question.
________ devez prendre une décision.
You and she need to make a decision.
☑️ Toi et elle
❌ Elle et toi
Elle et toi was marked incorrect, while Toi et elle was considered the correct answer.
However, according to the lesson, the only rule pertaining to the order of multiple stressed pronouns in the subject is that if moi is among them then it must be last. It uses Toi et moi as the example, but the text says moi should be last, not that toi should be first.
Am I overlooking something obvious, or is there a secret rule? I can’t believe that I am the first to encounter this, but I don’t see this exact issue discussed in the Q&A.
Thank you for clarifying,
Dusty
In the sentence, "Pauline, tu as l'air plus détendue que d'habitude !", I thought the adjective, détendu, modified the masculine noun, air., i.e. in English relaxed air. The correction implies that détendu modifies Pauline. Correct? So, in the construction of avoir l'air, it is the subject, in this case Pauline, which determines the agreement. Correct?
Referring to Les Filles. "Nous sommes allées en France l'année dernière.
But - Les trois filles sont sorties'
Why isn't it 'sortiees'?
Pauline, tu as l'air plus détendue.I thought détendu would agree with l'air not with subject of sentence.
The examples in the lesson use the pluperfect before this expression but why? In English it translates in to the imperfect?
Why is there not a liason between "il est allé " for he looked for a ladder ?
I am very unsure about the passive tense I am notice quite a bit of passive tense in my passage.
Hello Aurelie,
there is a broke link to this topic. I cannot add it to a notebook.

To win , I used remporter instead of gagner. Is there any problem with that ?
