Seeking clarification on Maartens answer to Randa. The link provided, indicated that 'toujours' could be in either tense. I felt the imparfait was indicated as the action "loving" is ongoing and not finished. Would 'love' to read your response/s.
What is the correct order to ask questions in French?
I mean, can we put all of the words of interrogation like (quand qui que) in different places like we do with ou` and the different places can we put the subject and the verb?
for example : ou`te es ?_ou` es tu? - tu es ou`?
Why is indefiinite article omitted from Quelle excellente ideée?
Less commonly, à + indirect object may be replaced with the adverbial pronoun y:
Il y pense. He’s thinking about her. J’y fais référence. I’m referring to them. On s’y habitue. We’re getting used to him.Found these here : https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/indirect-objects-2/ So y seems to be able to replace people?Could you please clarify if these go before or after a noun -
1. Fou/Fol/Folle (crazy)
2. Mou/Mol/Molle (soft)
3. Mince (slim/thin - opposite of gros/grosse)
4. Court/Courte (short - opposite of long/longue)
5. Mignon/Mignonne (cute)
6. Bas/Basse (low - opposite of haut/haute)
Why is the sujet not sa peau ?
why is "complimentaient" conjugated for des lèvres et cheveux as the subject ?
Is the “ en train de finir” construct also accepted for the question: “Louis is finishing his homework”?
Hello. I answered the following exercise question incorrectly, selecting en instead of dans.
Les enfants sont ________ le métro.
The children are on the subway.I recently read this guidance in a Quick Lesson and thought en would be the correct choice. Could both be considered correct?
When talking about travelling somewhere, you will use à for "individual" modes of transport (walking, bicycle, bike etc), and en for "group" modes of transport (bus, coach, car, subway, etc).
Thanks for the help!
Why would it be "C'était un bâtard" not "Il était un bâtard?" The statement is specific. I asked my partner, who is a native French speaker, and he said both sounded correct/normal to him. He couldn't figure out why the latter is unacceptable, even viewing the rules provided.
