Is either option acceptable for this exercise?
I am puzzled by "tout oppose le" in the following announcement.
À l’occasion des élections européennes, le 26 mai, deux philosophes sont têtes de liste. De l’accueil des réfugiés à la gestation pour autrui (GPA), tout oppose le Français François-Xavier Bellamy et le Belge Laurent de Sutter qui se lancent en politique sans rien renier de leurs convictions métaphysiques.
The first sentence is clear. The second sentence mentions (1) the questions of the refugees and surrogacy, and (2) Bellamy and de Sutter who are entering politics, etc. But I do not understand how "tout oppose le" links (1) and (2). Does it mean Bellamy and de Sutter are opposed to (1)? If so, what is the "le" doing there? I can't work out the meaning here. Any help would be much appreciated.
Salut,
Je préfère la chaleur parce que je suis frileuse.
Mes questions:
1: Comment ça se fait que "descend" est suivi par "de" dans le text?
2: Je pense que "petit" est un adjectif apposé, mais où est le nom qu'il complète?
Merci
Why prèsent is used after pendant que why not futur as per lesson we should use futur after pendant que and quand

When speaking can you say "un euro virgule cinquante centimes" or is it always "un euro et cinquante centimes"?
Perhaps the lesson on "Writing decimal numbers in French" could be updated to cover this topic as well.
I found this lesson very helpful!
By the way, what would be the correct way to say "This is correct/ right"?
Merci beaucoup à l'avance.
I write "Elle l'adorait !" , why is it wrong? To replace a statement, we must use "ça" ?
In an earlier lesson, we learned that for normal verbs, inversion is usually too formal. People usually say the sentence with an upward inflection or use Est-ce que.
Is that not so in the case of reflexive verbs?
