So, as the rule in this lesson states that in Negation we use Ne...Personne instead of N'importe qui for saying 'anyone' ...so, should it be? -
- Elle ne fait personne confiance. [She does not trust anyone.] Because the negation surrounds the main conjugated verb?
I don't understand why the present tense - devient is used instead of the future tense.
So - how would you say - "That shirt suits you well, but it doesn't fit you"
Yes, I know there are other ways to express this eg. "It suits you but you need to find a smaller size". But I'm specifically looking for how the two are differentiated using 'aller a'.
TIA
Why is the correct answer in indicative vs subjunctive mode?
Is it a rule to remove the definite article 'le' in Superlatives while using Possessive Adjectives?
Baptiste est mon pire ennemi.
and not 'le pire' / 'le plus mauvais' ennemi?
Or 'Il est mon meilleur ami.' - even though 'le meilleur' is not used, it is implied with Possessive Adjectives?
Does soi-mêmes with an 's' also exist? Can you give some examples? How does it differ from soi-même without 's'?
- Dans ce cas, on est soi-même responsable. [one is responsible oneself.]
- Dans ce cas, on est soi-mêmes responsable. [we are ourselves responsible.] Is it correct to write it with an "s" (similar to vous-même(s) or nous-mêmes for plural meanings)?
Le temps qu'il fasse demi-tour, il était trop tard. Pourquoi est-ce que demi-tour n'a pas une article?
