And the "," were totally useless , that makes the sentence really really weird.. I mean that makes sense anyway ! But quite weird :P

The commas were both necessary to separating the subordinate clause they frame and helpful in making the sentence readable and understandable. The space in front of one of them was merely a typo.

What I wanted to say was if the "," (commas right ?) were not here , the sentence would have more sense. That's not wrong to put them here , but absolutely not necessary !

Of course they are necessary.

To what extent does the novel you have studied have a relationship with and importance for life in 2016?

Your version, sans commas, leaves "with" completely unconnected with the next word in the main clause ("life", and the subordinate clause utterly unflagged.

Of course not :P

In english okay !! Agree ^^ but not in french ! Ask an other french and you'll see ! I swear to you that this sentence is not perfect , Okay that's quite correct , but not perfect !

I dont even understand what it means in english? Please could you explain it please. I got lost at "relationship with and ... 2016"

The mind boggles!

You have been reading a novel (one hopes).

You need to discuss, in an essay:

(a) whether and how the novel is related to life in 2016 (and how much), and

(b) whether and how the novel has any importance for life in 2016.

I suggest you look at the themes of the story, as well as its setting and plot.

Ok but the Q is really weirdly worded, thanks mate

It looks like a typical exam question or homework assignment to me - not weird at all.

Thanks mate are you fluent in french?

Non.

No probs. I was just wondering whether you could simply rate my essay /10, without correcting it since my teacher will do that

I don't think my French is up to that.

To what extent does the novel you have studied show a connection to, and the importance of, life in 2016?
