Hi,
In the sentence 'On avait alors,ouvert les rideaux pour découvrir, éberlués..etc'
Why is 'éberlués' not singular to agree with'on'.
Is it because plurality is implied?
Is there a lesson on this to clarify?
Thanks
in this sentence: " J'ai acheté de nouveaux bols et de nouvelles assiettes " why use DE nouveaux bols.......... insteet of DES nouveaux .......
Hi,
The title reads, Autour du monde en moto, but in the first sentence of the text we are told to use "à" moto which actually seems correct since a motorcycle is an individual mode of transportation. Maybe you could fix the title?
hi im new here i just want to say hi
- Oui, elle peut ___[le]_____ décider car l'égalité homme-femme fait partie des valeurs essentielles de la République.
Yes, it can decide it, for gender equality is part of the Republic's essential values.(HINT: "decide it" = to deny French nationality to someone who doesn't respect gender equality ) -
Firstly, I’m not sure why "elle" is used, unless it’s to expand something already mentioned, eg "une élection"?Secondly, does "décider" refer to a denial that’s already been mentioned? In English to decide an election / an issue is neutral, it doesn’t imply denial or approval.
Une mère dit a son fils "Qu'est-ce qui t’intéresse beaucoup?"
Une mère dit a son fils ce qui l’intéresse beaucoup or Une mère dit a son fils ce qui lui intéresse beaucoup.
Please clarify. TIA.
Is this an idiomatic exclamation? I don't see what the 'que' is doing grammatically.
I'm not sure where to ask this, as the fill-ins do not have a comment section. But I recently completed the test and was marked incorrect for an answer of:
>
The correction provided was:

Can someone explain why this is the case? Why the "on" form for "nous"? Thanks!
