Bonjour! Est-ce que quelqu'un pourrait m'expliquer pourquoi l'exercise dit "payer pour qqch" au lieu de payer qqch? Est-ce que payer devrait etre transitif dans ce cas? (Desole pour ne pas avoir mis les accents!) Merci en avance!
It says standalone adjectives after c'est are always masculine.. what if the word is feminine, does it just not work ?? like c'est belle? or c'est fantastique??
Based on the last example ("Oui, je le veux"), why can't you, in the first example, simply use the same construction, and say "Non, je ne le sais pas"?
In other words, when do you add in "le faire"? Is there a rule??
OK. I see that this has been asked and answered below. I still think that you could use either construction: (a) Non, je ne le sais pas. (b) Non, je ne sais pas le faire.
Similarly, it looks as if you can use both forms with the first example too: (a) Non, je ne sais pas le faire. (b) Non, je ne le sais pas.
I put in "Le lapin EST disparu" and I was marked as wrong. "A paru" was given as the only correct answer.
He quit smoking for five months but when the sun returned he started going out again? Is “when the sun returned” an expression meaning when warm weather returned?
Why is there no "s" at the end of "quelque"? Would it ever have an "s"?
Why is étrange before the noun here? In the other example answers, it comes after.
une pomme à cuire = a cooking apple jumps out to me as an odd one out. You wash with a washing machine, iron with an iron and sew with a sewing machine but the apple is the one being cooked here. Is this a peculiarity of edible things or does the French just work differently to English?
