Why is it quarter to seven and not 7:45 PM?
I find it inconsistent that at one point the text says 'en alternance avec de tulipes pourpres' while later it says 'l'éclat des soucis orange'.
Is there a reason why the second phrase isn't 'l'éclat de soucis orange' - or would that have been equally acceptable?
Hi. Could 'sauf' have been used in "...mais il n'y avait rien d'autre à faire qu'à téléphoner au garage et attendre"?
Also, could 'rien de plus' be used instead of 'rien d'autre' or do they not mean the same thing?
Is the sentence below correct ?! Can we use three negatives in a row?
Il ne dit jamais rien personne
or is it necessary to add à before personne ?!
Il ne dit jamais rien à personne ?!
text says de Hanoucca, not d'H.......
pourquoi?
Hello,
So If I'm understanding this correctly when the definite article is before a noun it remains when the verb is negative?
il aime le Café et le chocolate.
Il n'aime ni le Café ni le chocolate
But if the indefinite or partitive article is before a noun in an affirmative sentence the article is then removed when negative?
Elle commande de l'eau et du vin.
Elle ne commande ni eau ni vin.
Thanks
Nicole
bon outil d'apprentissage des langues, mais trucs très malsains
Looking at the answers tells me that this was an exercise about ‘faire mal’ and ‘faire du mal’ but my use of the verb ‘blesser’ was correct. Wasn’t it? Maybe I shouldn’t use blesser in this context. Correction welcome.
Is it still considered general when the adjective is followed by "here", why does this not revert back to the normal agreement rules?
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)"
