"Hi, "Les étudiants ont été accueillis par le directeur ce matin." Why not:- "Les étudiants étaient accueillis par le directeur ce matin." I've been pondering why the first is correct but the second verb construction isn't. I realise the Kwiziq sentence is presented in a passive voice but it seems to me to be saying "they had been welcomes by the director this morning" rather than "were welcomes". Any guidance gratefully accepted, Edward"
Is "au courant" invariable, or does it agree with the gender and number of the person?
Hi there! Wondering if you could explain why sometimes "have been + verb" is in the present and sometimes the passé?
E.g. "... l"alsace est multilingue..." (Alsace has been multilingual...) vs. "l'Alsace a gardé son multilinguisme" (Alsace has kept it's multilingualism)
Merci d'avance!
This comment regards the content rather than the French language practice, so not really that important. The lack of tiebreaks in the deciding set was the case when this exercise was first published a couple of years ago, but now in 2022, all 4 Grand Slam tournaments have standardised and are using tiebreaks in the final set (they go to 10 points rather than to 7 points like in the other sets).
I had to search for this exercise in the Kwiziq Library Listening Practice.
The link from the Weekend Workout – ‘Eating Out’ takes you to a different exercise titled:
“Father of two”
Not sure if question was clearly expressed!
Hello everyone,
I was just wondering if you could give me some tips to use this website effectively, as I can't figure out how to remember the information. The topic tests aren't enough, so I was thinking to make flashcards, but that sounds straining.
I'm doing IB and I need some tips - anything helps.
Thank you.
The question was “ tell your friends, don’t sit down!” Shouldn’t we use the tu form not the vous form in this case?
Pour "j'ai réduit les dépenses superflues", peut on dire "j'ai rogné sur des dépenses superflues
et pour "il faut absolument que j'économise de l'argent", peut-on dire "il me faut vraiment économiser
et pour "même lorsque j'ai vraiment envie d'un burger ! ", peut on dire "même lorsque ce dont j'ai absolument envie c'est un burger"?
merci !
