peut-on utilise ménage dans la phrase "Avez-vous demandé au reste de votre maisonnée " ?
merci
Can we narrow down the rule to:
"masculine nouns and adjectives ending with the -ien and -on =>
became -ienne and -onne in feminine. (not sure about -en, on-> -enne, -onne)"
Did anyone else have trouble understanding this sentence?
Why is it "je ne lis pas les journaux" and not "je ne lis pas de journaux"?
The audio recording for the English "hope" seems to be for "horror" instead.
Hia - in the lessons notes, it says: "If subjects, verbs, and objects confuse you watch the cartoon video explaining them. They're easier than they sound."
Can you advise where the video is to watch? Maybe I am missing the obvious ;-)
"complimentaient" - I would have thought that "compliment..." would agree with "sa peau", singular, and not "des lèvres" and "de magnifiques cheveux", plural. Is it because "complimentaient" is in a que clause with lèvres and cheveux?
George's question is interesting! Very often, in English, you may hear the following. "The front door, was it locked?". Also similarly, "Cécile, isn't she exceptional?". The screeching-brakes urgency of the first and the wonderment accolade of the second is relayed in the format. And yet the corresponding translation is rejected in the answers. How can you repeat the effect in French if not as follows. La porte d'entrée, etait-elle verouillée?/Cécile, n'est-elle pas exceptionnelle?
Les autres modes de transport utilisent "dans". Un wagon du métro et un wagon du train sont similaires. Cependant, le métro utilise "dans" et le train utilise "sur". Pourquoi?
Having completed all the grammar lessons, I am now going through the listening exercises, (in order of levels), which I am enjoying as a great way to review lessons and vocabulary.
Just a note: I found this exercise among the A1 listening exercises, but above it is labeled as A2.
Maybe it is mislabeled?
