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?
In the examples, there is this sentence: "Ma tante est passée par la boulangerie en venant ici." In the sentence, what purpose does the "en" serve?
Can you please put more in the story thanks
Why is the superlative in the plural, when the subject is singular?
why is: You had your curtains changed, translated as "Tu as fait changer tes rideaux."
I understood that "had" uses the plus-que-parfait?
Hi. Twice I've been marked wrong when I omitted the "heures" when filling in the blanks for a library or such open from one hour to another. It appears that the computer isn't recognizing the section of the lesson ("between to times"). Why? Very confusing.
Could I technically ask Qu'est-ce qu'il y a la distance entre Paris et Lyon? Would that make sense considering "il y a" can be used in questions.
Hi, I feel that the “p” sound is completely missing from “pour” in “pour l'infaillible soutien que vous nous avez montré ces dix derniers mois.”.
Is it missing? If so, is this an audio file error, or a genuine French way of speaking at the C1 level?
