Questions & Answers about L'agent va le démasquer malgré la méfiance de l'équipe.
The lesson is about en dépit de, but this sentence uses malgré. Could I use en dépit de here instead?
Why is the pronoun le placed before démasquer rather than before va?
In the near future tense (using aller plus an infinitive), direct object pronouns like le must go immediately before the infinitive they belong to. It is always va le démasquer and never le va démasquer.
Is there a verb related to the noun méfiance?
Yes, it comes from the reflexive verb se méfier de, which means to distrust or to be suspicious of. The related adjective is méfiant (suspicious).
