Bonjour,
I was wondering what do you mean by component adjectives? I see electric cable a wild animal etc but I am unsure why they are component.
Merci
Nicole
The correct response to :
popular French TV host Guy Lux
was given as:
populaire animateur télé Guy Lux
….was the ‘French’ adjective left off or not required?
Also the correct response to:
1,500 privileged French households
was given as:
1500 foyers français
….no translation for privileged was given
Bonjour à tous,
I've come access this sentence somewhere using "être on train de" in Conditionnel passé tense:
I would have been skying in the Alps if I hadn’t broken my leg.
Je serais en train de skier dans les Alpes si je ne m’étais pas cassé la
jambe.
I think we must use avoir (in Conditionnel présent) + être (in past participle) as follow:
J'aurais été en train de skier....
Could you explain which one is correct?
Merci beaucoup d'avance.
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"?
It seems that the examples are in bad taste. Do French people talk about people so subjectively?
The only time polite people talk about appearances is when they are describing a person wanted by police for a crime.
It might be helpful if you indicate which it is? My natural inclination is to think it's past tense.
I don’t understand why you say ‘soit du fromage’ but not ‘soit du travail’
Complétez avec le contraire des prépositions :
1. Le chien est sur la table.
2. L’ordinateur est à gauche du mur.
3. L’oiseau est au-dessous du bureau.
4. Le cinéma est devant l’hôtel.
5. L’école est loin de ma maison.
mettez le phrase au passe compose.
il y a des canards dans l'etang.
On the phrase On ne doit pas parler la bouche pleine, how come avec is not necessary to translate it to "with the mouth full"?
