I'm confused as to why "we improved quickly" is in the passé composé rather than the imparfait. Surely the fact that they were quickly improving is an ongoing action in the past rather than something that happened "just like that" at one particular moment? (Having said that, reading the whole passage through again it clearly "feels" like it should be in the passé composé - I'm just not sure why....)
I forgot to check the send e-mail box with my question below & had to redo this exercise to get to the Q&A in order to do so to request a response. I certainly hope part of the upgrade will be the ability to check the Q&A, at least after completing the exercise, without having to repeat the exercise every time.
Selon moi j'étudie depuis 2 mois en France = I have been studying in France for 2 months
J'ai étudié pendant 2 mois en France = I have studied in France for 2 months.
Est-ce que c'est faux pourriez-vous m'aider
Why can't I write "Ton père est dans la prison.?
I think "dans la" & "en" both work in this example. My reasoning is that prison is a physical place.
Although I write the true answer such as "qu'est-ce que....", because of not beginning the sentence without capital letter, it is not accepted as a true answer! The aim of this courses / exercises should not be PUNISH, it should be COURAGE !!!
It is a negative sentence, not affirmative, nor a question, so would "personne" be the correct translation? If so, how would you translate the sentence to convey the meaning of "not just anyone meets her standards"? Is there an idiosyncratic French expression for this?
Cheers,
Alec
Bonjour. Dans les propositions sans verbe, comment s'appelle le rôle de pronom tonique ? Par exemple :
" — Qui pourra le faire ? — Moi. "
" — Moi. " est la proposition qui ne contient qu'un mot, mais c'est quand même la proposition, n'est-ce pas ? Donc, est-ce le sujet ou comment ça s'appelle dans ce cas ?
Pardonnez mon français.
Comment dit-on "crafts" en français?
I don't understand why we use "j'en ai pour" ? What's the reason behind this?
