Referencing the lesson: 'Using le, la, l', les before nouns when generalising (definite articles)' why is 'Salut les filles' correct as 'les filles' refers to a specific group and not to a group in general. Thank you
Besides 'comme celles que j'avais eues les premiers mois', one of the recommended translations of 'like the ones that I'd had during the first few months' is 'telles que j'avais eues pendant les premiers mois'.
But the antecedent is 'une hallucination'.
So shouldn't this option be 'telle que j'avais eue pendant les premiers mois'...?
it's funny how all french courses keep saying "oh but you forgot that in french there are male and female nouns"
NO I HAVEN'T. i just cannot possibly remember who is le and who is la, after one month of learning language. and yet, not a single app/website that i've used so far seems to understand that.
"use de when something is uncountable". bro, i'm here because i had no idea if beer is du or de la, and i wouldn't be here if, for example, the quiz used water instead of beer.
they all seem so disconnected from the audience they are trying to teach...
For the sentence, j'ai grandi en regardant les matches avec lui, how come it's not in the imparfait? He was growing up over a period of time, and watched several matches during this time, so it was a repeated action. I thought it should be imparfait. Please advise.
Bonjour,
Why is it "Envoie-la-vous" not "Envoie-vous-la?" Aren't me/te/nous/vous always placed before le/la/les? Merci.
Hi Kwiziq team,
Why not "their lives" here:
Je fais ce que je peux pour rendre leur(s) vie(s) plus facile tout en leur faisant découvrir notre culture.
Thank you
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.
Le jeune homme a été récompensé pour avoir sauvé l'enfant de la noyade. The young man has been rewarded for saving the child from drowning. Could that be ' pour avoir noyé ‘? Le noyade is, I assume, 'the drowning?'
I think there may be a problem on your end here with the technology. It has been very difficult to advance to the next sentence in the dictation, as it seems the system is "stuck." Please look into this matter. Thank you.
Are there any other times apart from the negative (saying you don’t have any), when de is used eg d’huile, de pan. I know we say de also before plural nouns with an adjectives preceding the noun
