Questions & Answers about Ce casting est le plus difficile que je fasse avec eux.
Why do we use the subjunctive fasse instead of the indicative fais here?
The subjunctive fasse is triggered by the superlative phrase le plus difficile (the most difficult). In French, when a superlative is followed by a relative clause starting with que or qui, the verb in that clause usually takes the subjunctive. This shows that the statement is your personal experience or subjective opinion rather than an absolute fact universally true for everyone.
Is casting an English word, and how do we know its gender?
Yes, casting is an English loanword used in French to mean a casting call or audition. Most English loanwords in French are assigned the masculine gender by default, which is why this sentence uses the masculine demonstrative adjective ce and the masculine article le.
Why is it que je fasse and not qui je fasse?
Why does the sentence end with avec eux instead of avec ils?
