Does Ne ... pas + Passé composé + depuis longtemps =
Ne ... plus + Présent indicatif + depuis longtemps ? (Statements in either of these formats mean the same??) To help clarify, could you please provide translations for these statements a) to c) below (any other examples would be greatly appreciated) Thanks in advance.a)Tu ne fumes pas depuis longtemps.
b)Tu n'as pas fumé depuis longtemps
c) Tu ne fumes plus depuis longtemps
In the test above, for the translation of "Marie achète du café.", I chose "Marie buys some coffee", due to the lesson above. However, the correct answer is "Marie buys coffee". Why is this?
Could this be a mistake in the transcript? ...qui tienne dans une cabin d'avion
should be: ...qu'il tienne dans une cabin d'avionIn the phrase, "Enfin, après vous être imprégnés de tous les paysages somptueux,", I don't understand how "vous être imprégnés" using the infinitive in the French corresponds to the English translation, "after soaking up". Is "être" a typo where "êtes" should have been used instead?
She says, 'L'endroit qui m'a le plus marqué...' - why not 'marquée'?
Which is correct:
Nous n'allons pas le perdre OR Nous allons ne le perdre pas?
I've seen quite a few cricket matches and have always found them to be somewhat boring as the game is so slow compared to baseball, (no offense to my British counterparts, here). But, that may be because I never have really understood what was going on.
I liked this exercise and learned a new expression: "donner les grandes lignes" - "to give an outline". And, now that I have "les grande lignes" for cricket, I might enjoy watching a match more!
Just a note: "le batteur" sounds more like, "le batere"
Merci !
