@Tadhg27 Yes. You can’t say « de autre personne » because we will have 2 vowels side by side so we write ´ to make a connection

@Tadhg27 Ok I see what you mean. You have to know that if you translate every word to try to understand them with English grammatical rules, you will not understand how the language you are trying to learn works. So I know that when we translate that in English it’s sounds weird but in French it’s correct 😊
