Questions & Answers about Nous avons vérifié la disponibilité de l'hébergement.
If I wanted to ask 'Which one did you check the availability of?', how would I use a form of lequel here?
Because the sentence uses de (meaning 'of', as in de l'hébergement), you have to combine the preposition de with lequel. Since hébergement is a masculine noun, de and lequel contract to form duquel. You could ask, Duquel avez-vous vérifié la disponibilité ? (Of which one did you check the availability?).
I always get tripped up by 'accommodation' in English because it's uncountable. Is hébergement uncountable in French?
Could I use contrôler instead of vérifier for 'to check' here?
It is much better to stick with vérifier. Vérifier means to ascertain that something is true, correct, or in a certain state (like checking a calendar or availability). Contrôler is often used more for inspecting something against rules (like checking train tickets or passports) or having authority over something.
I noticed disponibilité ends in -ité. Are these types of words always feminine?
