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?
It's spelt "notable".
Hi can you please explain the usage difference between the two? A challenge in sports vs intellectual. Someone likes a challenge …. To challenger yourself not necessarily physically. Are these verbs interchangeable as synonyms? Is one more common than the other?
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 does this translate to my garagec is small wouldn't that be mon garage est petit?
The last sentence is given as "Comme ca", but "Comme" doesn't come through in the recording. I played it a few times, including after knowing the answer, and it was cut off.
What would be the difference between “I smell nothing” and I feel nothing”. I thought to feel in this case might require a reflexive construction?
Bonjour!
When to use être à vs the possessive pronouns? Spoken vs written or are they just interchangeable?
Merci :)
Je ne comprends pas le temps que ca lui prend de se preparer ! Is an example given to illustrate when l'indicatif is used and not le subjonctif. That I understand but I find the the sentence interesting and would like to ask : 1. Could que ca lui be replaced by qu'elle prend ? and 2. Could que ca be replaced by celui que ?
