We were asked to translate from English "nights when you are not here." The answer is "les soirs ou tu n'est pas la." I don't have accents on my keyboard." Why "la" and not "ici"? Is "ici" a correct alternative?
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
I have gotten this same question wrong several times and I still don't know why. "Les mêmes scientifiques". It is an adjective which should agree in number with the plural "scientifiques". Please help Thanks, Patti
Merci d'avoir écrit cette histoire palpitant! Plus, svp!!
Thanks to Maarten and Alan, I had 4 responses all of which were marked as "select this as correct answer". There is ambiguity, and how do I resolve this as a learner. My reference was related to Cliffs Quick Review French 1 (ch3 under Articles). A definitive answer would be great!
can one also say "où je passais tout mon temps libre" since dans lesquelles refers to a place.?
In a C1 test the correct answer was shown as:
Je prends mon petit-déjeuner après que tu t'es levé, with the hint being:
I have my breakfast after you get up.
Why isn't the correct answer:
Je prends mon petit-déjeuner après que tu te leves.
What am I missing?
Why is it le nez but ses lèvres?
