Comme chaque année depuis que tu nous as quittéS
I did read the lesson on past participle agreement with avoir but am still not sure why the 's' is needed in the above.
I went with "Le Halloween".
In my research, I found reference to an answer to a question that "Noël and Pâques don't have an article in front of them but the Saints days do". Is Halloween like Christmas and Easter (no article), and does this apply to other non-Saint holidays?
The marking is incorrectly red-lining the 's' on " grands-" in < grands-parents >. This had occurred in another lesson previously as well and was subsequently reported to have been corrected.
The use of < l'a réussi > for "passed it" is also being red-lined incorrectly, as also recently noted by James. As < l'a obtenu > is not accepted either, this suggests only 1 correct way to say passed an exam in French.
The choice of imparfait or passé composé for devoir in "she had to work hard" would be made clearer if the rest of the sentence was on the same screen - the final screen presented would then be 'she had to work hard but she passed it'.
(Per the lesson on devoir in imparfait or passé composé - both can be translated into English as 'had to', and it is the 'certainty of outcome/completion' that defines the choice.
Using "devoir" in the imperfect tense versus the compound past in French (L'Imparfait vs Le Passé Composé)
Hi, in the mini-quiz, it gives une histoire très interessante as correct. However, I understood that if the adjective is modified by an adverb of only one syllable, it comes before the verb. As in the given example un très joli manteau. So by that logic, it should be une très interessante histoire?
Why not "était" instead of "a été" ?
Oui, je sais, c’est vraiment bête, why not c'était vraiment bête,
Le pauvre Tom n’arrêtait pas de dire pardon, Tom was'nt stopping saying pardon, instead of why not use ? Le pauvre Tom n'a pas arrêté de dire pardon, Tom did stop saying pardon,
Tom did not stop saying pardon, or Tom ne arréterait pas de dire pardon, Tom would not stop saying pardon.
I find these tenses very confusing,
As the 'jeu de société' would presumably have been brand new why isn't the adjective 'neuf'?
Thanks
1. Tu vas à London.
2. Tu réponds aux questions.
3. Nous allons à London.
4. Tu as de la patience.
5. Vous allez a l'école en bus.
6. Tu écoutes de la musique.
I saw this sentence online «Mon père est médecin et je vais en être un aussi.»
I'm confused because there is no «de» to replace?
What is the translation of? Billy got a cat and a dog than a fish and finally a wheel he did not like them so he sent them back and got a brand new PlayStation
