In the lecture, you have the following three sentences
Mes amis, merci à tous d'être venus.
Sarah, merci d'être venue.
Paul, merci d'être venu.
In all these three sentences, "Mes amis", "Sarah", and "Paul" are NOT the objects of the verb "venir", so even they are proceeds of the verb, why should the verb venir have to in agreement with "Mes amis", "Sarah", and "Paul"?
When I write “Il est dix heures” as one of the accepted responses to a specific request to translate precisely ten o’ clock in the evening, it’s marked as incorrect. Yet, elsewhere, it’s stated as an acceptable response to a person who knows you are talking about the evening rather than the morning. So, it should be marked as correct along with the other two responses. In my opinion! :-)
La voiture ______(de/du) Mme deshmukh est Chére
My preferred dictionary, Wordreference, distinguishes a car door from an ordinary door in using the word, portière. Should it not be accepted ?
«Elle vient d'envoyer une lettre à son amie à Londres»
This question tests this lesson but includes the phrase "son amie" -- can that ever be correct?
Bonjour !
A fun exercise and review of "les boissons".
Just a note that I had to listen to the phrase, "une bonne tisane" several times because it also sounded to me as if the speaker is saying, "le" instead of "une". Because, I know that "tisane" is feminine I was finally able to hear the "une". But, it wasn't clear, especially for an exercise at this listening level. I think that part of the problem is that he is pronouncing the "e" as a schwa sound - an extra syllable like they do in the South of France.
Merci !
Nous nous intéressons au sport. Nous nous yintéressons
How would you say this in first person singular?
Je m’intéresse au sport. Je m’y intéresse. Is this correct?
Why do we say "folle aventure" even when "a" is a vowel?
This question was found on a C1 test. The answer that was provided was: Nous avons ouvert les fenêtres de peur qu'il n'ait une fuite de gaz.
My problem is with the use of the word might. Might means may be, could be, which suggests the use of pouvoir, de peur qu'il ne puisse y avoir une fuite de gaz. When translating the answer that was given, I would say: We opened the windows out of fear there was a gas leak. No might is needed.
