I notice in the phrase 'était apparue gracieusement sur cet étrange engin' the adverb is placed after the participle, not the conjugated verb. Am I right in thinking adverbs normally go directly after the conjugated verb ?
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?
Your question: What does "Je voudrais trois douzaines de pommes, s'il vous plaît" mean?
This is confusing me... in English three dozen, means three dozen or 36 but if I am reading this correctly, in French means around 3 dozen or around 36... I have been penalised for saying about 36 and not choosing the 3 dozen which means precisely 36 and should, therefore, be wrong.. or am I missing something?
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?
Why is it not possible to answer « j’apprécie que tu prennes ton temps. » ? Isn’t « apprécier » un synonyme for « aimer » ? Heather
Why une brosse a dents and not aux because dents is plural?
I am looking at this sentence - 'Toi qui me faisais sauter sur tes genoux pendant des heures sans que je n'aie jamais l'impression de t'ennuyer' - and wondering about the n' before the jamais. He is saying 'without me ever feeling', not 'without me never feeling'.
