While the lesson is clear that the le passé composé is used here to use depuis for negation, I'm not sure how to ask the question that leads to this response:
For example: When was the last time you your mother saw you?
- Is it: Quelle était la dèrniere fois/Depuis quand ta mere t'a vu/te vois?
In either the case the answer would be in passé composé: for instance: Elle ne m'a pas vu depuis longtemps
Thanks!
Why use 'sont' not 'est' ?
I think 'tout ce que' is musculin singulier
Hi - As Adrian mentioned, this is not enough to explain the change from de to du
Note that de becomes du / de la / de l' / des depending on the gender and number of the noun following it (e.g. of the).
Although Chris has offered good explanations in this Q&A forum - it should be in the lesson itself - Can you please add the variation.
Not sure if I am missing an easy way to do this but when a search in QandA is done, I can't see an easy way to link to the full discussion. For example, a common question on avoir besoin de and avoir peur de has been raised again. This was subject to a very detailed discussion just recently and short of scrolling through many pages, I cannot find it to link for the questioner. I can see Cécile's answer, but the rest of the discussion is not linked from there. If there isn't a way presently, is it possible to look at doing this? There are many discussions dating back years now that have lots of good information, and also discussions arising from the other exercises that are worth referring to.
HI,
I forget what lesson in A1 I saw this and now I can't find it. But one sentence has c'est un Vieux sac for it's an old bag but the second one is c'est un vieil home for he's an old man. My question is why is c'est for he is or she is shouldn't it be il/Elle est?
Thanks
Nicole
In the lesson about dimensions, you say "Note that in this case the adjectives haut/long/large/profond agree in gender and number with the subject they refer to."
But you only give a gender agreement example for "profond". Do "haut" or "long " or "large" change spelling with gender?
Bonjour, je ne peux pas utiliser les accents sur mon claviers
