Est-ce que bande-dessinée veut dire "comic strip," et roman illustré veut dire "graphic novel?"
La traduction de " students were welcomed by..." n' est-elle pas "furent accueillis" au lieu de "ont été accueillis" ?
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
2 questions about this sentence:
1. Is "yeux étincelants" not acceptable here?
2. Why is the passé composé used instead of the imparfait "les yeux...auxquels je ne pouvais jamais résister"?
Why is it ' on se serait crus' and not ' on se serait cru'. I thought 'on ' was singular.
Is it correct to say le parapliue est sur la table
Hi, the line “that her grandmother sent her” translates to “que sa grand-mère lui a envoyée” in the exercise, but should this be “que sa grand-mère lui a envoyé”. I.e. Should “envoyé” not pick up the extra feminine “e” because there is no COD before the verb, there is only a COI before the verb.
