Bonjour,
I have a tiny off-topic question relating the articles of the nouns before qui/que.
Must the articles always be "les" instead of "des" because the noun is defined by qui/que later on already. Is this the right way to understand it?
The examples in this lesson always use un/une and verb of preference like "adorer" (which we all know must go with definite articles).
So I'm just asking what if I want to say: "They are the girls who I saw yesterday". Should it be:
a) Elles sont les filles que j'ai vues hier
b) Elles sont des filles que j'ai vues hier
Merci.
is 'Glace aux marrons " acceptable too? A brief explanation would help. Thanks
Asked to translate, “L’Oréal are selling a new product,” the correct answer given is “L'Oréal vend un nouveau produit” I assume that this product is new on the market, in other words a new creation. Why then is the correct answer not, “produit neuf”?
Can we say par avion as well as en avion?
Why is this phrase not ""Tu as les billets ? Oui, je les en ai tous."
I cannot here the "de" in this sentence: on a même échangé nos numéros de téléphone !
when we say the more X, the more Y...we dont need le or la? to indicate "the" like "the more i run, the more i am happy"
Merci, j'ai aimé le nouveau vocabulaire.
alors, est-ce que "faire un carton", "se défouler" "bluffant" et "mal en point" sont des expressions assez courantes maintenant?
In the C1 writing exercise The King Cake, there is the phrase ‘ he or she will name out loud each person, who will then be given a piece of galette’.
The recommended translation of ‘who will then be given’ is ‘à qui on donnera ensuite’.
You could also say ‘à laquelle on donnera’ ?
