Questions & Answers about Pourquoi est-ce que vous rejetez mon idée ?
Wait, shouldn't there be two T's in rejetez, like in the verb jeter?
Does the single T in rejetez change how it is pronounced compared to forms with a double T?
Yes! In forms with a double T like je rejette, the E before the T makes an 'eh' sound. In vous rejetez with a single T, that same E makes a soft 'uh' sound (or is dropped completely in fast speech).
I thought idée was a feminine word. Why does it use mon instead of ma?
Could I ask this without using est-ce que?
