Hello,
So, the demonstrative pronouns in French, if I'm not mistaken, are: celui, ceux, celle, celles
While in English, they're: this, these, that, those
But if I want to translate: That looks like the car I used to drive. in French, that's Cela ressemble à la voiture que je conduisais.
Why cela and not celle ?
So, when do you actually use the french demonstrative pronouns?
For the English "He put his hands in his pockets." I wrote "Il met les mains dans ses poches." however, it was corrected to "Il met les mains dans les poches.".
This doesn't seem correct to me however I cannot find the example again in the exercises.
Would anybody be able to advise?
I could not find any lesson explaining the numbers from 0 to 69.
Am I missing something ?
I swear I hear "deux dernieres annees" I sure don't hear "nuits" Am I the only one?
Is there topic on negative with "Il ya a" Can't seem to find it.
A lot to take in!
In English "the day after", "the next day" and the "the following day" mean the same. Likewise "the day before" = "the previous day". In French, do le lendemain, le jour d’après and le jour suivant /la veille, le jour d’avant and le jour précédent differ from each other in meaning or mainly in register?
Secondly, from the point of view of today, are l’après-demain and l’avant-hier used in conversation?
Is it
Un des meilleurs repas que nous ayons jamais faits
Or
Un des meilleurs repas que nous ayons jamais fait?
J'ai mis le deuxième et on m'a dit que c'était juste mais le texte final met le premier.
Est-ce qu'on s'accorde donc le repas au singulier ou au pluriel dans cette construction du superlatif?
Merci!
