Both of the above are listed in the lesson but I was marked incorrect using aucune d'entre elles in q lesson referring to les gosses, none of them....please advise. Thank you!
If you want to say "I think about my wife". ChatGPT suggests I say "Je pense à elle", instead of "Je lui pense".
It says "Je lui pense" can be grammaticaly correct but it's too formal, old or used in literary.
However, this lesson says nothing about this. Can anyone explain this?
My questions are about the sentence, "Et puis, une mère n'est pas uniquement celle qui t'a donné la vie.": Why is 'te' used here instead of 's'a', 'l'a' or some other construction, since it seems to be some kind of generalisation? And also, if 't'a' is used and the speaker is talking to another woman, why doesn't 'donné' agree in 'donnée'?
Is there a list of verbs that are followed by "a" ?.... such as demanded
The expression "to make new sandals" is "faire de nouvelles sandales"
To say I have new sandals made, the correct answer is "Je me fais faire de nouvelles sandales" but I don't understand why it is a reflexive verb. I would have thought the answer is "Je fais faire de nouvelles sandales"
How do l know when to use de in the sense of some although it isn't necessarily expressed in the English sentence eg je mange DE la confiture = l eat /am eating jam or perhaps peu d'élèves ?
il en existe toutes sortes - why isn't is this : il en existent toutes sortes.
It looks like this is never used in the plural - an impersonal phrase, is that correct ?Thanks

La première partie de ce paragraphe utilise l’imparfait, par exemple adorais, étais, allais, achetait, s’asseyait, étaient ce qui représente des actions qui continuent au passé. Mais soudain le temps change pour les films de Marvel. Quelle est la différence ?
Would you say a doctor visites ses patients, OR il rend visite à ses patients?
