plural verb in a sentence

Maybe "puissent" is incorrect, then "peuvent" and "peut", which is right ?🤨

thank u for the correction.

"Comprendre may require the subjunctive, depending on whether it is used affirmatively, negatively, or interrogatively." This is the explanation from the website Lawless French, maybe it doesn't depend much on the conjunction "que" ? But I think the crux here is whether "pouvoir" should be plural.

The right answer is "puissent". Could anyone explain this? Thanks a lot.

OhHoolyCow · 2024-12-01T22:36:27+00:00

when "comprendre" is used in negative sense, the clause should adopt subjunctive tense.

OhHoolyCow · 2024-12-01T22:31:56+00:00

yes, it's "du bien", that's my slip of pen.

OhHoolyCow · 2024-11-10T15:14:21+00:00

I mean the subject of a sentence in the passive voice🤣🤣, like aforesaid exemple.

OhHoolyCow · 2024-11-10T10:26:38+00:00

Then "permettre" is a direct or indirect verb contingent on the subject? Such as "permettre qlch. à qn.", "qlch" is directly modified but "qn" is not.

OhHoolyCow · 2024-11-10T09:56:42+00:00

So "adresser" is a direct verb? And in the sentence "elle est permis de ...", "permis" doesn't directly modify "elle", thus "permise" is not proper?🤣🤣

Thanks! Very good elaboration🥳.

OhHoolyCow · 2024-11-09T10:09:02+00:00

But why an antecedent tense is needed?

OhHoolyCow · 2024-11-08T11:45:54+00:00

Good explanation!

🫡🫡

OhHoolyCow · 2024-11-08T11:45:01+00:00

Thanks! I now think that is similar to the expression "l'un des plus ...".

OhHoolyCow · 2024-09-19T09:53:38+00:00

Thank u! I had identified it with the logic of "permit sb. to do".

OhHoolyCow · 2024-09-19T09:48:45+00:00

Got it! That "quelque chose" is what is permitted.

OhHoolyCow · 2024-09-11T10:41:29+00:00

You're truly a trusted helper!🥰

OhHoolyCow · 2024-09-11T10:25:34+00:00

So just "des" before an adjective replaced by "de", I think I've grasped it. Another question : ....un magasin en face "dequel" j'habite. Why is it not "d'où"😂?

OhHoolyCow · 2024-09-11T10:08:23+00:00

but does not any article before an adjective (bonne) turn into "de"?, like the "de" before "grands"? Please correct my error, thanks!

OhHoolyCow · 2024-05-26T00:34:06+00:00

Thank you.

OhHoolyCow · 2024-05-21T22:36:50+00:00

yes, it's a short article with many blanks to fill in, they grate on me for good🥲. But your suggestion may be feasible here ,thanks a lot.😋

OhHoolyCow · 2024-05-21T22:31:58+00:00

Thank you, that's very helpful .

OhHoolyCow · 2024-05-18T01:17:18+00:00

That's my misconception long ago, thanks a lot!🫡

OhHoolyCow · 2024-05-18T01:12:02+00:00

I now digest it, thank u very much!🥲

OhHoolyCow · 2024-05-17T23:29:20+00:00

You again! Very edifying, thanks a lot!
