Questions & Answers about La plupart des militants dénoncent le réchauffement climatique.
This sentence doesn't use le fait que. How would we change it to say 'The fact that most activists denounce global warming is important'?
We would start with Le fait que, then add our sentence, but the verb dénoncent must be in the subjunctive. Since dénoncer is a regular -er verb, the third-person plural subjunctive looks exactly the same as the present indicative: Le fait que la plupart des militants dénoncent le réchauffement climatique est important.
Why is the verb dénoncent in the plural form when La plupart is grammatically singular?
Why do we use the adjective climatique for 'global warming' instead of a word for 'global'?
Does militants mean 'military' here?
No, un militant is a false friend. It means an 'activist' or 'campaigner' for a political, social, or environmental cause. The French word for military personnel is les militaires.
