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).
In each of the above sentence,
future time is indicated using - ce soir, dans duex secondes, tout de suite, plus tard, à dix heures demain matin, demain, dans une heure
And the context is implied in present tense.
What are these future time phrases called ? And where can i find more examples? Can someone share a lawless blog link?
To be completely honest, I couldn't follow this lesson at all. Maybe it's just the way it was written but I found it almost impossible to actually comprehend what was being conveyed and I had to seek out other sources.
Thanks for everything you guys do! I usually love Kwiziq lessons, but I feel like this one needs a rethink.
You define L'imparfait as being about things that happened repeatedly in the past or past habits. Yet "You had eaten cereal this morning" is neither a repeated action nor a past habits, yet is expressed in L'imparfait... "tu avais mangé des céréales ce matin"? Sounds more like your definition of le passé composé - a single event in a defined timeframe. I get that the grammar is correct. What I'm questioning is your definitions.
...the text option “où, comme chaque année, nous avons fêté Noël.” has the audio “où nous avons fêté Noël.”
this combination of verb tenses in a si claus/result statemnet seems at odds with what I've learned about them.
why not "si tu avais besoin d'aide, je serais ravie de t'aider" as a second condtional or
"si tu as besoin d'aide, je serai ravie de t'aider" as a first condtional?
«Faire de qqn» proved to be a difficult expression to track down anywhere. It was suggested by deepL - but without any explanation, of course. Looking at questions below, it seems others have pondered over this as well.
A hint here that it is literally 'make of me' would be very useful. Of course, in English we usually leave 'of' out, and just say 'make me', or move the words around to 'make (something) of me'.
Hi,
I was wondering for for using il or c'est in this sentence. Que penses-tu de mon canape? ____ est tres joli. Since it is a specific item mon canape I would use il est? I was going to use c'est tres cause when you have the verb etre your suppose to use c'est but, in this sentence to me it seems specific so I would use il est in this case. Am i correct?
this is a question in the kwiziq
Thanks
Nicole
HI everyone,
So to my understanding reading the previous answers to the questions unambiguously would mean both am and pm?
Also I know the two different ways to say the numbers in both 12 hour and 24hour but, and as I'm reading the responses it seems that past 6pm you would use like deux treize quatroze etc. Would I be correct and if it's past midnight would it be the same?
Thanks
Nicole
