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.

aside from with être, this rule is "broken" only when you're constrasting information

je n'ai pas un chien, j'en ai deux !

[sturdy void]

Oh, so « je n'ai pas un chien» is also grammatically correct but used to emphasize the fact that you don't have one dog or even one dog?

"je n'ai pas un chien" → I don't have one dog
"je n'ai pas de chien" → I don't have a dog / any dogs
