Why is this avoir? I appreciate the verb is followed by a noun but its no different to getting off a plane, in real terms. I seem to be finding this matter unusually difficult
as title says
Hi,
In the example of “Toutes les fins de semaine, nous allons nager.”, was toutes les agreeing with fins de semaine (feminine phrase), or with nous (a group of female swimmers)?
Thank you for clarifying!
Couple of queries:-
In the sentence ' As I grew up, it was her melancholy ...' the advice is to use c'est. Why not c'était?
and,
In the sentence 'Barbara, as you used to sing (it) so perfectly, our most beautiful love story will always be you., the 'it' refers to the 'love story' which is feminine so 'comme tu le chantais' should be 'la'?
Thanks
Am struggling to understand why the answer uses the present subjunctive of etre.
Thanks for any help!
J'ai mangé un septième des pommes or J'ai mangé le septième des pommes
which one is true?
I think that the use of imparfait vs passe compose (sorry I don't know how to use accents on this keyboard) is a matter of opinion in several cases here. For example, I used "achetait des croissants." He did this regularly. The answer is "a achete des croissants." He did it once. Either could be correct. The same with "est devenu une nouvelle personne." Did this happen at once or did it happen continuously? Judging by some other comments, I am not the only one who thinks either tense could be used in some cases.
