Merci
Rule: words ending in -é are usually masculine (no exceptions mentioned)
Question: What is this noun's gender: ''amitié'' ? (HINT: Look at the word's ending)Answer: FEMININE!
Given that it is obviously an exception, why ask it like this? Just discourages students who've gone to the effort of remembering the "rules".
For The exhibition also showed the history of the place, I put, L'exhibition montait également l'histoire du lieu, whereas the correction told me it was L'exposition montrait également l'histoire du lieu. Doesn't the extra 'r' indicate 'would show' rather than "showed"?
J'habite en Californie et ma banque est à Tahiti. Donc, je dois faire les opérations bancaire enligne. C'est difficile parce que je ne comprends pas le vocabulaire bancaire de base en français. Où puis-je trouver le vocabulaire bancaire en français ?
The lesson for "lire" shows an example of "the people read"= on lit
I think the example of the people elect the prime minister should be les gens elit??
I don't understand. I'm given a lesson on pronouns but then most of the test is on conjugation of verbs I have not heard of before.
According to the lesson Vrai before noun means quite a.... where as Vrai after noun means true. So why are we using vraie here before cuisine when we want to say a true kitchen?
Why is the passé composé used here: "Depuis que je t'ai rencontré.." when the rule says you use "depuis que + l'indicatif" --very confusing and frustrating without an explanation.
Using le gerondif seems simpler that using a more complex construction using qui. For instance:
People don't eat the produce coming from farmers using pesticides. (Les gens ne mangent pas les produits des agriculteurs utilisant des pesticides)
People don't eat the produce coming from farmers that use pesticides. (Les gens ne mangent pas les produits des agriculteurs qui utilisent des pesticides)
Is there a preference?
(I eat other things but I don't eat potato)
(I eat other things as well as potato)
