Hey, I was reading the following explanation of this topic, in the example at the end, should not be
deux-cent-trente-cinq
instead of
deux-cents-trente-cinq?
Note: Nowadays, following the Spelling Reform it is recommended to use hyphens with any numbers lower or greater than 100 (quarante-et-un / deux-cents). However, when using "millier(s) /million(s) / milliard(s) de" you do not add the hyphen before these numeral words (deux-cents-trente-cinq millions d'euros).I was struggling to remember/understand this rule of pronoun and indirect and direct order and how it changes depending upon me/te etc or lui/leur etc and came across 'the selfish rule' in a grammar book which helped.
Me first, object second, other people third, then Y and En.
I guess its another was of remembering the rule as given here, "The order is ALWAYS:
me/te/nous/vous (before) le/la/les/l' (before) lui/leur."
I just did a quiz and got an answer wrong. I answered d' in front of eau but the correct answer was de l'.
If that is the case, why do the French say carafe d'eau and not carafe de l'eau?
I'm working my way through grammar topics in my French course, and I'm finding it a little difficult to isolate which topics I haven't got a 100% score yet. When I go to the FRENCH GRAMMAR LESSONS library, is there a filter or something that shows you only those lessons which you haven't practiced and/or completed?
I think there is a mistake in this text : "une ballade dans le Quartier Latin"
I think "une balade" would have been what was intended ?

Hi,
In the above examples, the je/tu/il/elle/on conjugations sometimes use plaî--- and sometimes use plai---. Is this an oversight or is it intentional?
Thank you.
Does "Qu'est-ce qui ... ?" exist in French? I already understand Qui, & Qui est-ce qui questions.
Bonjour!
Can we reframe this sentence as "Je ne connais pas personne en dehors de mon petit cercle d'amis."?
Merci
