Should “nous nous sommes impatientés” actually be “nous nous sommes impatientées” because the “nous” refers to Noémie (female) and her “famille” (a feminine word)?
Now that could be misinterpreted!.. if you mean a Master's degree.. try Master's!
Bonjour! Un exemple dans cette leçon indique:
>Exemple: Le joli garçon est avec la jolie fille.
Pourquoi c'est "la jolie fille" et pas "la fille jolie"?
[I wrote this in French as practice; but I thought that adjectives follow nouns in French? Is there a lesson going over how to order adjectives?
In addition, I'd love any feedback on the presentation/construction of my question! Writing longer sentences in French is hard.]
Utter nonsense. Both those statements (ie, "speak Spanish fuently: or "speak fluent Spanish" are 100% interchangeable. If anyone tells you different, they're not native English speakers (or they're very poorly educated).
I'm getting the impression that the people who are setting these tests are not fluent English speakers.
Hello,
This is the sentence I'm talking about: He was sick all day yesterday.
This is why I'm confused:
a) It could be imparfait because I believe that when you talk about health, you use the imparfait.
b) It could be passé composé because you know the time-frame of when it (him being sick) took place: all day yesterday.
why can't I say c'etais la coup de foudre instead of c'a ete?
Quand elle sera grandie, elle voyagera beaucoup.
Is this sentence right?
I feel the following is right. Please clarify anyone.
Quand elle aura grandi, elle voyagera beaucoup.
These names might apply reasonably specifically to 'basketball shoes' or generically to 'sports shoes' in some parts of the English-speaking world, but not everywhere. Why not use 'tennis shoes' in a story based around tennis ? ( « les baskets » is appropriately covered in another of the writing topics ).
Why isn't the question above inverted? Is it specific to the usage of "que"?
Can anyone explain why "enfants" is used in the mini quiz in a lesson about forming the plural of nouns ending in -eu? I know it's plural but thought maybe it was a trick question since "enfant" doesn't end in -eu. There are only two questions, so shouldn't they both relate to the lesson?
