Yes “finissait” is the right answer here, but the verb “terminer” is more appropriate here.
Does French follow the same linking verb + adjective convention as in English? Linking verbs, which include "to feel", link the subject and the predicate so are followed by adjectives, not adverbs. In the kwiz, there was "Je me sens mieux." I feel better. Of course, "feel" can be a transitive verb also as in "feel an object," so a person can feel (it) better, in which case "better" is an adverb.
Bonjour Aurélie
What will be the correct pronom relatif in this sentence?
Je dois retourner au bureau,........... j'ai oublié mes clés.
In the sentence: donc je me suis baignée tous les jours.
I used imparfait, since it is an ongoing activity - every day - and Juliette is describing what she is doing.
donc je me baignais tous les jours.
Why is passé composé being used here?
I can’t find how to reference multiple days together, is there an example?
“On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I get up at 6.” which of the following is correct?
Le lundi, mercredi et vendredi je me lève à six heures
or
Les lundi, mercredi et vendredi je me lève à six heures
or
Le lundi, le mercredi et le vendredi je me lève à six heures
Thanks
Jon
Correct: Il est allé visiter une maison.
Incorrect: Il est allé à visiter une maison.
Can someone explain please? Thanks
While I got this sentence right, I wonder what the exact English translation is of "des vacances en amoureux"? Is this the same as "lune de miel" ?
Merci !
For The exhibition also showed the history of the place, I put, L'exhibition montait également l'histoire du lieu, whereas the correction told me it was L'exposition montrait également l'histoire du lieu. Doesn't the extra 'r' indicate 'would show' rather than "showed"?
I had a more difficult time than usual understanding some of the French in this particular exercise. There were certain phrases or words that seemed to have a different rhythm or pronunciation to them. Conversations between two French people are one of the most difficult things for me to understand so that may explain my problems! However, I was curious to know if the men spoke with a regional French accent? Thanks
