One of the possible translations given for the last sentence of the exercise is 'Peut-etre qu'on peut s'entraîner ensemble ?' Does not s'entrainer imply a joint activity and so 'ensemble' is not required?
The test I have just completed had 'on est passés' - but why the 's'? Surely 'on' is masculine and so there would is no need?
- Les singes étaient malicieux/this has a more negative meaning... one wouldn't laugh about it...."farceurs" is better here as that would elicit laughter
- nous avons bien rigolé !/Grammar: - needs an "en" ->nous EN avons bien rigolé
- j'ai préféré le numéro de trapèze : j'ai retenu /qui m'a fait retenir mon souffle plusieurs fois !
Pourquoi on n'écrit pas "en tant que votre thérapeute??????
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?
Why can't I use "relâcher" here? As that verb means to relax a muscle?
I'm confused about the difference between "les jours derniers" vs. "les derniers jours".
In the lesson, "les jours derniers" is translated as "these last days" while "les derniers jours" is translated as "these past few days." I'm having a hard time seeing the distinction.
Hey! Sorry, could you explain how I can conjugate "faiblir"? Is it an irregular one?
The phrase I saw:
Je suis tout à fait satisfait du cadeau que j’ai trouvé pour Sarah. Je l’ai emballé dans DU JOLI PAPIER et je lui donnerai ce soir.
Here the "du joli papier" I thought it is not preceded by any "de" preposition. "emballer dans" is the preceding phrase. So why is DU used here? A mistake?
