Questions & Answers about Il a déjà analysé la phase de sommeil.
Why is déjà placed between a and analysé?
Why does the sentence use de sommeil instead of du sommeil?
When de links two nouns where the second noun simply describes the type, purpose, or category of the first (acting almost like an adjective), we drop the definite article. It is a general "sleep phase", not a phase belonging to a specific sleep, so we use de alone instead of du (which would mean de + le).
Since la phase is feminine, shouldn't analysé have an extra "e" at the end?
Where would I put the negative words to say "He hasn't yet analyzed"?
