Can someone explain why I answered this incorrectly? I answered "nous sommes brossés" and it told me that the correct answer is "nous sommes brossé". The rule quite clearly states that the past participle should be modified to agree in number and gender though. We is inherently plural, so shouldn't an "s" be added to the end? Or am I missing something here?
There seems to be a new font used for posts in the forum. The font looks smaller and "sturdier". In my opinion it is harder to read than the original one. Also, it is more difficult to distinguish bold from regular. I don't know what you guys think, but I'm no fan if it.
The quick Lesson on this sites that in the negative imperative the subject pronoun (tu, vous, nous) is dropped.
In Schaum's Outlines text, I see the following negative imperatives: Ne te reveille pas, Ne nous reveillons pas, and Ne vous reveille pas.
One of the exercise questions in chapter 5 of same text asks for the negative imperative of "Promenez-vous dans le parc" The answer is Ne vous promenez pas dans le parc.
Having trouble understanding this
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"?
Are these two options interchangeable ??
I was marked wrong for using it in one of your questiona
When was the "point" (full stop) replaced with the exclamation mark in French? There seem very few occasions when the point is acceptable: But the exclamation mark seems mandatory in most circumstances.
"on aurait dit un savage" translates to it looked like a savage, but I'm unsure of the rule for that. Is there a lesson on this?
I thought that 'le présent' is used for the present and near future tenses, so why the answer of "Anne et Antoine se promènent avec leur chien." is only makert right to "Anne and Antoine are going for a walk with their dog." ?
Can't "Anne and Antoine are walking their dog." be correct as well?
I know that the question is related to the lesson but I wan't to know if that meaning is correct in the day-to-day use.
Can someone clarify why is it that "elle m'a embrassé" is using avoir as the auxiliary and not être? By this logic, I don't understand why "Aurélie s'est disputée avec sa soeur" is reflexive, as the direct object would be the sister?
In the "full text for you to read and listen to" at the end of the exercise, the 5th sentence in the dialog "- Avez-vous besoin de voir le menu ?" is shown in the text but is missing in the audio. The audio is present in the individual section of the exercise.
I see this was addressed in N. Hillary's question/comment from 6 months ago.
