Sep 8, 2011 at 2:44 | comment | added | Cerberus | Hah, qu'on sounds rather inappropriate indeed, never thought about that. Thanks for your explanation. Any reason why l was chosen instead of t, as in a-t-il? And is it never le in any other sentence, i.e. does it only ever occur before a vowel? | |
