J'aime quand vous riez... I like it when you laugh.
Why is this not je l'aime quand vous riez
Contrary to previous comments below in response to Dragana and Danica - this line can indeed translate as I am looking forward to the 31st (ie New Year's Eve in this case), which fits exactly the context of this story. It is not the expression "d'étre sur son 31" which would translate as '(to be) dressed up to the nines'
Conjugate verbs (+ être) in the pluperfect tense in French (Le Plus-que-Parfait)
"Elle était déjà partie quand je suis arrivé"I have a playback problem... the first time I play this it is fine but second and subsequent omit "elle".. if I go to another phrase and come back, it still happens and need to reload the page to get back to the full recording.. this seems to be happening in about 50% of the playbacks on this page.. the others are absolutely fine and seems no rhyme or reason.. happens on other pages as well.. don't think it is my iPad.
I think there is a mistake made regarding 'ces 'which is translated as those and not these.
In the translation options for “Martine and I went for a walk around town”, why are the “baladés/allés” not “baladées/allées” as the two people referenced are both female?
How would you translate the sentence, "Wine, we don't drink much of it." I wasn't sure about "Le vin, ..." so I asked Google Translate, which said it should be "Du vin, ..." But Duolingo marked that wrong and said it should be, "Le vin, ..." Which is correct? "Du vin, ..." actually feels more correct to me, because what you're really saying is, "On the subject of wine, we..." And wouldn't that be, "Au sujet du vin, nous ..." ? (Sorry, I don't know how to classify this type of sentence.)
Why is it "Elle a monté" instead of "Elle est montée"?
Je suis une très mauvaise élève parce qu’en classe je n’écoute jamais ma prof donc je ne pose plus des questions parce que je ne sais pas que nous faison en classe. Souvent Je prétends lire ma livre donc je n’ai pas á travailler et je peux me relaxer. Mais quand nous avons des examens j’ai faire un peu effort réussir à mes examens mais je déteste etudier donc je n’ai pas de bonnes notes et même ensuite je suis paressuex et je copie mes amis. À mon opinion il n'y a pas de bonne raison de réviser ou travailler dur c’est inutile, plus l’apprends est difficle.
J'aime aussi ne pas écouter les règles de l'école et ma prof parce que c’est drôle. Je toujours mes jambes sur la table et ignorer tout le monde parce que je peux. Je dois déranger la classe donc je parle trés fort et j'essaye aussi de faire rire tout le monde.
