Please be patient

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

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.

would it be "des weekends me donnent du temps pour faire des choses que j'aime"?

[round meteor]

Les week-ends me permettent de faire ce que j'aime/me donnent le temps de faire ce que j'aime.

[sand moss]

why can't i say "me permettent/me donnent le temps de faire des chose que j'aime"?

[round meteor]

*les choses, but otherwise that works.

[sand moss]

so instead of "ce que" i can just say "les choses que"

why's it "les choses" tho

[round meteor]

Yes.

[sand moss]

not "des choses"

we're saying "things"

[round meteor]

Because it's '... to do the things I love' instead of '... to do things I love'.

blobthink

ok

one last thing

for the expression "donner du temps", when we use a verb after it do we always use "de"

or can we use "à" or "pour" even?

[sand moss]

@round meteor sorry for the ping
