Why isn't nouvelle année not in caps?
Can anyone explain why the subjunctive 'puisse' is used here?
How could we deduce that these were plural, and not " de potentielle répercussion professionnelle" ?
L'adjectif "long" précède normalement le nom et si j'ai "a big white house", c'est une grande maison blanche, n'est-ce pas? Pourquoi dans le cas des cheveux sont-ils "les cheveux longs et raides" et pas "les longs cheveux raides"? Merci.
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
Please explain why the plural is used at the end of this sentence dont les trois bâtiments entourant une charmante place centrale participent d'une atmosphère de petit hameau des plus pittoresques.
Also cabane is a female noun, shouldn’t it be surplombantes in the phrase below
l'une des deux cabanes surplombant le domaine
Thank you very much
How do I take a quiz on relative pronouns?
English: I knew who was invited, but I didn't know the other details.
French: Je savais qui était invité, mais je ne connaissais pas les autres détails.
I got this wrong. My thinking was that 'who' was a direct object and a person or persons, therefore connaître. I would have used connaître in the second part, again détails is the direct object, but I was influenced by my error in the first use of 'to know '; hence I chose savoir. Please explain why the first calls for savoir. Thanks.
