Questions & Answers about Certains se chargent de la musique, n'est-ce pas ?
Why does Certains have an -s at the end, and why is it masculine?
Here, Certains acts as an indefinite pronoun meaning "some people". It replaces a noun rather than describing one. Because it refers to a general group of people (or a mixed group of men and women), it takes the default masculine plural form, hence the -s. If it specifically referred to a group of only women, it would be Certaines.
Why do we use the reflexive pronoun se in se chargent?
Why do we say de la musique instead of just la musique?
Can n'est-ce pas be used for any tag question like "right?" or "don't they?"
