How do we put the accents?
Looking at several online translators (I do realise they aren’t reliable!) - prendre seems to be used quite often to express set, ie when a partly liquid or wobbly filling is allowed to become more solid by cooling, baking or resting eg "Retirer du feu et laisser reposer jusqu’à ce qu’elle commence à prendre" or "jusqu’à ce que la crème soit bien prise". Is this a recognised usage?
J'ai l'impression que « J'ai la nausée. » et « Ouvre ta vitre. » devrait être correct aussi ?
And could you have had à qui rather than auquel in the same sentence ?
I’m wondering if there’s a logic for having a singular beetroot in this phrase? Usually you’d make it with more than one, as with "tarte aux pommes"
Surely there are contexts where the answer - 'Jeanne is eating from the ice-cream' - can be correct. For example - Jeanne mange les pistaches de la glace. Elle picore. Elle est vraiment dedans! C'est toujours la même chose - elle mange de la glace les morceaux qu'elle prefere.
What does this ........ in the text
For first-person ("je suis [verb]) I understood it to be that it would take the -é suffix if a male speaker and the -ée suffix for a female speaker, but the top two examples on this page ("Je me suis lavé les dents" and "Je me suis bien amusée") both seem to be a female voice. Is there something that I'm missing?
How to say "I will arrive": j'arrive or je va arrive?
Est-elle la ami du Lucas sont leur petite ami (girlfriend)?
Then why would he take her to a romantic film?
