Two questions in the B1 tests and I may be dim but I am clearly missing something as I am not sure what the "superieur(e)/inferieur(e) à ) agrees with!
Notre cuisine est supérieure à celle de ce restaurant.
and
Son (Her) travail est inférieur à celui de son frère. "Restaurant" and "frère" are both masculine, "cuisine" and "Son (her) travail" feminine. I left the "e" off in the Notre cuisine sentence and put it on in the Son travail sentence. Help!
Les odeurs envoûtantes qui émanaient de ce coin de paradis m'ont accompagnées.
Why ées.?
What is subject,direct object in this sentence? why not accompagné
Bonjour, can you let me know if I understand 'new' correctly or just simplifying it too much, my notes are:
Neuf - used after noun but only if the item you are speaking of is brand new (but not on living things)
Neuve - used after noun but only if the item is new to you but not necessarily brand new
Nouveau - is the masculine form and used before consonants
Nouvel - is the masculine form and used before vowels
Nouvelle - is the feminine form and used before nouns OR vowels
Does that sound right?
Merci
Hello
So on the writing challenge test,( If I could start all over...). I translated the last sentence "I could even get a dog." using "pouvais" meaning "able to" but the correct translation was using "pourrais" the conditional form. Please clarify!,Thank you, Karen
I have tried to figure out why some words in the example sentences are in bold and some are underlined, but I don't get it and I can't find it in FAQ or anything.
Hi, I wonder about passer par qqn, there are examples as follows:
Yann passera par chez Laura après le travail.
Ma tante est passée par la boulangerie en venant ici
But what about: Yann passera chez Laura ... & Ma tante est passée à la boulangerie.(I've just omitted par).
Isn't the meaning the same here ? Thank you.
Coucou!
I dont understand the recorded pronunciation in this phrase : Les plantes produisent l’oxygène. Why is the “ent” silent in produisent? And why is the “l” silent in l’oxygène?
Merci pour votre aide
Lovely resource, really impressed by the thought that's gone into this and the ease of use. I just got C1 on self test but less than half marks on the written exercise, confirming that written French is where I need to up my game!
"Parvenir" goes with être and "Convenir" goes with avoir (unlike venir) in Passé composé?? Same goes for "Survenir" (goes with être) and "Subvenir" (goes with avoir). Where can I find all such cases of Venir??? The list given on Kwiziq does not have these verbs - https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/verbs. Please help.
J'ai encore des cadeaux à acheter. - Marie les a déjà tous achetés
Why is the "achetés" plural in this case. As it is not conjugated with être in passé composé my understanding is that it would not agree?
