I tend to get tangled up with possessive "de" but wanted to query why the two capitalised nouns above take de l’ rather than d’? The dog is best friend of "Man" not "a man", and capitalising both nouns implies to me a generalisation or personification: despite that, they don’t seem to be treated as proper nouns in French.
Why the infinitive? How does this work?
I didn't finish this exercise the first time round. I've come back to it - a long time later - but unfortunately it doesn't remind me which words/phrases to look up in advance, so had to guess all of them! Please could you do a reminder for when this happens?
Nous nous émerveillions toujours devant les champs de fleurs sauvages qui avaient tout juste commencé à éclore après l'hiver.
Merci mille fois!
Hi
can there be a lesson on the order of two or more adjectives for example
petit , and nouvelle
how would you order them?
une petite maison nouvelle?
une petite nouvelle maison?
une petite et nouvelle maison?
What are the situations in which we add « de » like this? Is it a general rule for talking about rates?
Thanks!
Cette chanson me rappelle le film 'Etre et avoir'. Bien pour la rentree aussi. Merci!
Sorry for a rather niche question, it may be a situation that doesn’t often arise, but I’m wondering where the COD and COI pronouns go in a sentence with subject-verb inversion? (I found a reference to y and en)
Why was the subjunctive used for « réunisse » in the first part of the sentence but not for « prend » for the second part?
« Mais ce qui me touche le plus est le fait qu'on se réunisse tous en famille et que chaque invité prend le temps de choisir un cadeau. »1st paragraph, 2nd sentence: saurez-vous retrouvez is translated as : "can you match" -- can you say a little about how savoir in the futur is used in this case?
