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.

Some verbs take a direct object.

  • Example, the verb "détester": "Je déteste ma mère".
    The object "ma mère" comes directly after the verb, it's not introduced by a preposition.
    So if you wanted to replace "ma mère" by a pronoun, you'd have to use a direct object pronoun.
  • Example: "Ma mère est vraiment insupportable, je la déteste".

Some verbs take an indirect object.

  • Example, the verb "parler": "Je parle à ma mère".
    The object "ma mère" is introduced by the preposition "à", which makes it an indirect object.
    So if you wanted to replace "ma mère" by a pronoun, you'd have to use an indirect object pronoun.
  • Example: "Ma mère est insupportable, je ne lui parle jamais".
