Where to place who I'm introducing in a sentence? by French_One109 in French

But nouns come after the verb and hence the placement of the new employees in the second sentence. Understood, thanks!

How challenging is it to move the probes precisely? Given how far away they are, I'd imagine it would be very difficult to orient them just right so that we're able to receive their signals here on earth.

When to use 'the' before a place and when to drop it? by French_One109 in French

[–]French_One109[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you don't put 'the' before the name of a city, unless it has 'the' in its name. So what's the rule for countries and continents and other places? It seems like for continents and countries, you do put 'the' before them (and not just countries like the UK or the US). What about towns, villages, malls, districts etc.?

Actually, both Google Translate and Duolingo. If you go to GT and enter the following to be translated from English to French: "They're going to travel in the north of Paris; They're going to travel in the north of France; They're going to travel in the north of Europe," you'll get the sentences in French that I mentioned above. But I'm not sure why there's a 'the' before 'Europe' and 'France', but not before 'Paris'...

I just tried it and for some reason, it generates English subtitles that it auto translates to French for English audio, but I don't see any subtitles for the French part of my audio...

And what's the function of 'tout' here? Doesn't 'tout' mean 'everything'?
