Questions & Answers about En revanche, l'anonymat ne cache jamais vraiment le cyberharcèlement.

This lesson is about the pronoun autrui. How could we incorporate it into this sentence?
You could say le cyberharcèlement d'autrui to mean the cyberbullying of others. Because autrui is an invariable pronoun that refers generally to other people—often used in moral, philosophical, or legal contexts—it fits perfectly into this sentence's theme.
Why is vraiment placed after jamais rather than right next to the verb?
In French negative sentences, the primary negative words (like pas, jamais, or rien) take priority and hug the conjugated verb tightly. Additional adverbs like vraiment are pushed outside this negative structure, resulting in ne cache jamais vraiment.
Is there a difference between using en revanche and par contre here?
They both mean 'on the other hand' and are generally interchangeable, but en revanche is considered more elegant and standard for written French. While par contre is very common in spoken French, using en revanche is a great way to elevate your style at the B2 level.
Why does the noun l'anonymat end with a silent 't'?
It features the masculine suffix -at, which expresses a state, status, or institution. You will see this same silent 't' ending in similar words like le célibat (celibacy) or le volontariat (volunteering).
