Could someone please enlighten me as why 'son' is used in this sentence. If the sentence was, 'We suffer from THEIR lack of attention', then, son is replaced by leur. What is the grammatical basis for this structure?
Hello.
Could you also say
"Je vous souhaite une belle/bonne journée"?
les chauves-souris jouent à cache-cache.
Why there is no article before cache-cache, like 'Je joue au tennis' and 'Je joue au jeu de société'.
'As for "avoir peur", it's a fixed expression always followed by the preposition de (literally to have fear of), so when used with the definite article les, de + les contract into des :
Il a peur des chiens. => He's scared of (the) dogs.
In the negative, as we said above, les remains the same, so it applies to its contracted form as well: Il n'a pas peur des chiens.'
Does this apply only to fixed expressions ending 'de' as in the case above?
Correction: count money
Why can't I write it Madame Lepic instead of Mme?
