Why is the imperfect used in the phrase "si je pouvais remonter le temps" rather than the conditional?
Their Books should be Leurs Livres and not Leur livres as mentioned in the video or am I wrong?
The lesson says 'Elle rappelle Lady Gaga à elles.' is wrong, yet it follows the same structure as ' il rappelle son ex a Maria'. Is this something to do with 'elles'? is it just grammatically inelegant?
Does the sentence 'Je bien sûr nomme...' also work ?
Here it is below. For the last phrase, "mais elle l'a eu !", is "mais elle l'a réussi !" an alternate answer? Please explain the use of avoir in this case."
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.
Given the sentence: 'Gwoka combines music, singing and dancing' to translate I used 'allie' which I did consider as a synonym to 'combine', yet it was marked as a mistake...
I am confused though, was it really wrong?
Why is étrange before the noun here? In the other example answers, it comes after.
Isn't 'une boîte' a nightclub? Surely it would make more sense for Elsa to be leaving a nightclub than a box?
I am having a difficult time deciding when devoir is appropriate and when it is not. All the other applications, I am ok with. But if devoir implies "must have" why is a purse a necessity? Why not just Avoir besoin? And why is sleep NOT a necessity (or I may be getting this confused at this point). This is getting to be more of a guessing/memorization thing than an actual understanding thing. I see from the previous posts that this has been discussed ad infinitum so it's not just me. Any easy way to decide when to use devoir and when NOT to use it in this context?
Thanks
