Just a few days ago I came across Jacques Brel's song "Le moribund", which has the line: "Adieu l'Antoine, je t'aimais pas bien", which I took to mean that the speaker didn't like Antoine. Is the rule that "aimer bien" can't be used in a negative sentence something that can be overridden in some cases, such as in art to make a line scan better, or does its use in the song suggest that the speaker isn't well spoken? Maybe an exception that tests the rule?
chance, tort and raison are all nouns, and we use "de la chance" but it is not the case for tort and raison.
Pourriez-vous donner autre exemples de cette règle?
I want to say "I have not written since December. Is this the correct way to say that: Je n’écris pas depuis décembre.
I was marked wrong for writing "... car les activités y sont plus ..." in the fourth sentence.
