Le père de Michel travaille dans un hôtel.
Will the un change to d' in the negative form?
Quelle est la différence entre les mots "shooter" and "shot" ? Les deux options ont été présentées dans les réponses. L’un est-il utilisé avec des noms et l’autre avec des verbes ? ("Shooter" was given as an option when using "pour la digestion" [what I used] and "shot" when using "digérer").
"Nous serions ensuite allés dans sa nouvelle maison que j'aurais fait meubler à l'avance....."
Why is there no agreement between the past participle fait and sa nouvelle maison in this extract ?
Ok, I should have heard the "la" but I didn't - and I put "le mi-août" because août is masculine. Is it, then, the case that if you use the prefix "mi-" the whole thing ( "mi-qqch") invariably becomes feminine?
same problem, cant retake the quiz, very annoying
< Il va rester dedans > is being red-lined for "he is going to stay inside", but it is correct too.
This is a perfect example of vocabulary/explanation that should be given ahead of time -- I'll bet that way more than 90% got this wrong! If you do not speak French fluently, you would never think of expressing "To think that by now" is expressed as "Dire qu'à l'heure qu'il est"! Help us be better students by explaining expressions such as this!
Why is: "Tous m'a félicité" incorrect?
Instead of Toute le monde m'a félicité...
When i learned French in my youth ( I am now 91), the passe simple was called the Past Definite in English, is that still so ? We were also told that its use was confined to literature and it was not used otherwise. Is that correct ?
