Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

this is agrammatical; what you said is the equivalent of "social medias are propagated the information"
but they do the action, they don't undergo it

ruby crater
#

with the particular examples you've given using passive voice would work, but the meaning is slightly different

faint crystal
#

Wdym sorry

#

Isnt les infox fake info? Also im trying to say social media spreads fake info

ruby crater
#

sur les réseaux sociaux, les infox se propagent
sue les réseaux sociaux, les infox sont propagées

they both would be translated to the same thing in English "on social media, fake news gets shared"

#

but I don't think you can do that with all pronominal verbs, for instance verbs that are obligatoraly pronominal may not allow this... can't think of any exemples atm tho

faint crystal
#

So like its better to do the first way?

#

Grammatically better ig?

ruby crater
#

some people may claim that it's better stylistically

faint crystal
#

Wait also like i think im just confusing myself with adjectives in present tense and actual present tense like for example nous sommes unis vs nous unissons

ruby crater
#

hmmm sounds like you may be confused about what the passive voice is

faint crystal
#

Like to say i am going je suis aller

ruby crater
#

"je suis allé(e)" means "I went"

#

it's a totally different animal

faint crystal
#

How do u say i am going?

ruby crater
#

je vais

#

French doesn't have any continuous tenses

#

but this is really going far away from your original question

faint crystal
#

I know but im mixing these things up

ruby crater
#

well, I suggest you read that article I just posted about passive voice, 'cause that's what your original question was about

faint crystal
#

Okk

ruby crater
#

that should help detangle the confusion a bit

faint crystal
#

Is that also about present tense and like

#

We are divided

#

As a posed to we divode

#

Divide

ruby crater
#

not quite
read the article, it should help lol

faint crystal
#

In tbe article it says ‘the teacher is hated’ for example

#

Is that present ?

#

Or the passive thing

#

That im confused by

ruby crater
#

it's present passive voice

faint crystal
#

Wait can u pls tell me if this makes sense 😭. Vous nous avez demandé de partager nos opinions sur les vies des jeunes. En particulier, je vais discuter comment nous restons connecté, des problèmes des jeunes en france, et comment nous nous maintenissons une bonne santé mentale.

#

🙏🙏

#

Ça me semble plus naturel comme ça 🤷‍♀️

#

D’ailleurs j’aurais dit “la vie des jeunes” au lieu de “les vies des jeunes”

faint crystal
#

Ohh ok merci! But isn’t se maintenir reflexive so why is it nous maintenons instead of nous nous maintenons?
