J'ai quitté la France (quitté la France), plus de problème de finance
➔ Passé composé with auxiliary “avoir” + past participle; ellipsis of the auxiliary in the second clause

Je veux ce qu'il n'a pas
➔ Relative clause introduced by “ce que” + negative verb phrase

Je suis Congolais, j'embellis la sape

-
Parlez‑vous français?
