What if you want to use a pronoun how would you say it. Example j'ai rendu visite à ma soeur. In this case if I want to replace à ma soeur with a pronoun
Same query regarding the subjunctive but different sentence:
C'est le seul footballeur qui ait réussi à me faire pleurer....
I don't understand the grammar of parmi lesquels choisir in this sentence. could anyone help to explain? thanks.
It says:
You use à when describing going to or being in a city.
And you use de to indicate being, coming or returning from a city.
So then how do you decide if you want to express being in a city since you use both de and à?
can we use afin de for reflexive verbs? is it a je vais dans la salle debains afin de me laver?
peut-on utilise ménage dans la phrase "Avez-vous demandé au reste de votre maisonnée " ?
merci
And while we're on that question, the correctEnglish option, you decorated your flat, is not available. You did decorate your flat is a bizarre emphatic response to a conversation that goes something like ' Who decorated your flat?' 'We did' 'Oh, I was told it was done for you. So you did decorate your flat.' It's such an odd thing to say it's hard to construct a piece of fiction to illustrate it.
'I share my apartment with five people, including one girl.'
I realise the lesson is about 'dont', but could one use 'compris' or 'y compris' instead of dont? If so, which, and would compris need an e because the girl is feminine?
In the lesson about dimensions, you say "Note that in this case the adjectives haut/long/large/profond agree in gender and number with the subject they refer to."
But you only give a gender agreement example for "profond". Do "haut" or "long " or "large" change spelling with gender?
