May have found a missing translation. I put "j'ai choisi de passer le reste de la nuit dans les buissons de Mme. Maron !" and was marked wrong, but "j'ai décidé de passer le reste de la nuit dans les buissons de Mme Maron !" and "j'ai choisi de finir la nuit dans les buissons de Mme Maron !" are accepted translations.
Hello,
I have a question relating the position of the words.
1. There's an example with ne ... jamais rien = never ... anything : "Il n'a jamais rien fait" --> is this correct or should it be "Il n'a jamais fait rien" ?
2. Now with ne ... rien du tout = anything at all, I found this expression on deepL and I don't know if it's correct or how to position the words. For example, I want to say: "She didn't say anything at all". Should it be:
a) Elle n'a rien dit du tout
b) Elle n'a rien du tout dit
More examples would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Is the pronunciation of the 's' optional in tandis que?
Word reference translates flavor or flavour as either la saveur or le goût, except for yogurts or ice creams, in which case le parfum is preferred. So, in the text, since we are talking about desserts in general, why not allow saveur or goût?
I translated 'Mother's Day' as 'fête des Mères' which Kwiziq dinged as a mistake.
The 2013 Compact Oxford Hachette French Dictionary uses the translation 'fête des Mères' (p 719).
I read that there can be much variety in how such events are spelled.
Could it simply be that the spelling l used is not yet known by AI Kwiziq?
Thank you
Pourquoi on ne peut pas écrire?
1)Après être séparé au lieu de après s’être séparé. Dans la premiere option est-ce qu'il faut un objet....après être séparé de .... qqchose
2)six mois avant au lieu de six mois plus tôt?
3)That was the last time we played matchmakers
j'ai ecrit
c’était la dernière fois qu'on a joué les matchmakers.(c'est acceptable??)
Merci .
Re:
Le temps des deux parties m'a confuse dans cette phrase.
Il y a un exemple ou on utiliserait le subjonctif passe comme ca:
