It seems that meme to express 'same' must be prefixed with the article. The english sentence (forgive me if it is 'not exactly first class english) " i got high marks same as you" would be translated as 'comme toi"....you cannot use 'meme' by itself to mean same?
Is "he felt the same" il s'est senti la même OR il a ressenti la même ??It cannot be 'même'.??
I'm wondering why the colors do not agree with 'La jupe'. I would have thought it would be 'bleue, blanche et rouge'. Is 'bleu, blanc et rouge' invariable?
I'll be right there in English is actually the use of the future continuous tense, as is I'll be there in two seconds. I'll is a contraction of I WILL.
Not a good example for using the present tense in English.
English teacher speaking here.
hello madam/sir,
I have a question why here they used 'des' instead of 'de'? As we use des for plural, but here nothing is plural.
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?
One of the answers given I think was written with "que l'on" rather than "qu'on", i.e.
si vous ne voulez pas que l'on parte plus tôt.
Are both correct. If so can you please explain the use of l' . I don't understand why we would use l' here.
Why is the future rather than the present not used for this? i.e. 'next time I will choose the film' or 'next time I am going to choose the film' because it is suggesting an action in the future.
Why not simply : J’ai peur qu’il soit à l’heure ? Why is « ne » necessary ?
