Vous Pouvez poséz les questions de enregistrements pour tester ?
Why not "était" instead of "a été" ?
Oui, je sais, c’est vraiment bête, why not c'était vraiment bête,
Le pauvre Tom n’arrêtait pas de dire pardon, Tom was'nt stopping saying pardon, instead of why not use ? Le pauvre Tom n'a pas arrêté de dire pardon, Tom did stop saying pardon,
Tom did not stop saying pardon, or Tom ne arréterait pas de dire pardon, Tom would not stop saying pardon.
I find these tenses very confusing,
Pourquoi on utilise comme elle ne doit pas sortir. Pourquoi pas ainsi que où pour que ?
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?
Some advice please on when to use vouloir in the present versus the conditional for "I want". In English, insofar as I know, we don't distinguish between "I want" and "I would like". On second though, perhaps "I want" expresses a slightly stronger desire.
Not exactly related to the lesson but one of my quizzes had the sentence: “Je mangeais une nourriture très riche.”
I’m wondering why “une” was used here and not the partitive article “de la”, especially since it’s an unquantified amount of food? This was confusing to me.
Lis-tu des romans de temps en temps ?
Bonjour!
I was wondering when listening to the sound Tu is it me or does it sound like when you say je?
Thank you

Please explain to me why "que porte le maître en raquettes à neige" means the opposite, should it be "que le maître en raquettes à neige porte"?
Why is étrange before the noun here? In the other example answers, it comes after.
