This paper deals with the intervention effect of dative experiencers and the parametric variation in terms of A-movement between French and English raising constructions. According to the series of Chomsky's Minimalist Program, a general A-movement occurs in order of Agree-Move. Agree is a prerequisite step towards Move and is subject to the locality conditions, but Move is not. In order to address the problems with A-movement, Goto(2013) proposes the order "Move-Agree" in English raising constructions. We will observe the corelation between Move and Agree and verify that, especially in French counterparts, quasi-argument expletives and real expletives must be distinguished in terms of A-movement. We conclude that French real expletives do not move but must be merged in the Spec-TP of the main clause. Based on the fact that there exist different syntactic operations in these constructions and various authors' opinions in acceptability, French counterparts can be accounted for by both the two orders. Finally, we will verify French dative experiencers must be differently taken care of from the English counterparts.
