Bonjour!
I was wondering when listening to the audio of how to say the verb acheterais and acheterait to me they do sound the same am I correct to make that assumption?
I also wonder if the letter r is always silent as well as the letter L?
Thanks
Nicole
OK, I spelled 'conduisiez' wrong, but I am puzzled as to the of the expletif 'ne' here. As I understand it, it has no negative meaning, but how does one know when to use it in these subjunctive clauses?
How do you use 'à quoi' et 'dont' compared to the other terms ? Merci
Je ne comprends pas comment la phrase, 'c'est la manière dont les Français cuisent leur viande', soit correcte.
Je pensais que 'dont' s'utilisait pour exprimer les propositions anglaises, 'about, of, etc'. Par exemple, dans la phrase 'la fille dont vous m'avez parlée hier'. Dans cet exemple je comprends l'usage parce que ça signifie la fille 'about whom' you spoke yesterday.
Mais dans le cas de, 'c'est la manière dont les Français cuisent leur viande', je ne vois pas le sens de 'about whom ni of', effectivement je ne vois aucune proposition après le verb 'cuisent', et c'est pour ça que je suis confus.

as title says
The sentence to be translated: I can listen to them for hours!
I wrote: Je peux les écouter pendant des heures !
The exclamation mark was marked as incorrect even though it was called for in the original sentence.
Are these correct ??
a)they want to interview us all == ils veulent tous nous interviewer ???
b)they want to interview all of us == ils veulent nous interviewer tous
c)they all want to interview us == ils, tous nous veulent interviewer ?? **note only a comma distingushes a from b**)
Salut, If it is correct to say, Je suis en train de lire le journal, why can't one say, "Mes oncles sont en train de peler des pommes de terre dans la cuisine." ?
Thank you
Wow! Thank you for this lesson. It has been a subject that has been somewhat confusing to me and I really needed this. I will have to reread and practice though to increase my understanding, and to reinforce my confidence.
- Can I use "se composait" instead of "regroupait"?
- why use "en eut assez d'attendre (passé simple) while this place is supposed to describe the speaker's feeling, therefore can I use avait (imparfait) in this context.
