Why not ( comment tes vacances se passent-elles? ) ?
Bonjour!
How best to translate this sentence please? : "Were you there before?" - Etais-tu là avant? (or) As-tu été là avant?
and the same sentence in the negative: "Weren't you there before?" - N'étais-tu pas là avant? (or) N'as-tu pas été là avant?
Thanks.
Cheryl
In the above example of 'to go/come in(to)'
'Vous êtes rentrés dans la pharmacie à six heures.' You came into the pharmacy at six o'clock. ... Could you also convey the same meaning with: -
'Vous êtes entrés dans la pharmacie à six heures.'
Mes amis pèlent tous les étés !
My friends' skin peels every summer
Should this be "My friends peel every summer" as the French seems to imply more than one friend ?
