@valid onyx Merci de répondre directement dans les fils dans les canaux salle-de-classe :)

[valid onyx]

ok chef

[ripe fossil]

Someone just answered in here, where did it go💀

[crude fractal]

no idea

[valid onyx]

@ripe fossil so u can add "une" it's correct too

[ripe fossil]

Is it just with “être” that you can’t?

[crude fractal]

devenir star or devenir une star both sound okay

but the problem is that you said "joue violon"

[valid onyx]

yEAH

Its "joue DU violon"

[crude fractal]

any time you talk about playing an instrument, you need to use "de" after the verb "jouer"

je joue de la guitare
il joue du piano
etc.

[ripe fossil]

Well it was a mistake yes, but I tried that question multiple times, Duolingo didn’t accept devenir star

[ripe fossil]

?

[crude fractal]

I can only judge based on the screen you sent
but both devenir star and devenir une star can work

and the rules for using an article before professions with the verb être dependo on the pronoun you use

il est médecin
c'est un médecin

[ripe fossil]

—Ok, can you say “il est devenu médecin”?—

Sorry, “il est devenu un médecin”

[valid onyx]

he became a medecin

[ripe fossil]

Is this correct?

[valid onyx]

Yes

But u can also say "il est devenu médecin"

[ripe fossil]

Oh ok

Is it just with “il est médecin” that it’s forbidden?

[valid onyx]

ps ur pfp is the best

[ripe fossil]

Lol thanks

[valid onyx]

Il est médecin mean "he is a medecin"

no

"he is medecin"

[ripe fossil]

I’m confused

[valid onyx]

il est médecin -> it design his job
il est un médecin -> design his profession in detail (you can add "il est un médecin urgentiste" for exemple)
But when you say "un" it's more correct if you say "C'est un médecin"

[ripe fossil]

Ohhhh I see, thank you

[valid onyx]

Your welcome

[lunar nacelle]

🤨

fortunately we don't judge you the same way every time you make a mistake in french

[valid onyx]

sorry I don't understood what you mean

[wind lichen]

when you are trying to abbreviate "you are" you say "you're", not "your"
"your" is possessive (example: "Your dog is nice")

so it would be "you're welcome" because it's like saying "you are welcome"

sorry if my original message came out rude

[valid onyx]

ah yeah I see

ty

[wind lichen]

no problem

[wind lichen]

also you should use present tense here and say "sorry, I don't understand what you mean"
