Questions & Answers about Nous nous alignons après le salto et la vrille.
Why do we need the double nous in Nous nous alignons?
The verb here is the reflexive s'aligner (to line up or to align oneself). The first nous is the subject ("we"), and the second nous is the reflexive pronoun ("ourselves").
Is the 'g' pronounced in alignons?
Salto doesn't look like a typical French word. Does it follow normal plural rules?
Yes! Even though le salto is borrowed from Italian or Spanish (meaning a somersault or flip), it takes a standard 's' in the plural to become les saltos.
