Not sure why - it does not seem a particularly unusual word to use in this context ?
It is interesting just how many words French has for 'annoying'!
Hi, I don't really understand when to use the present tense and when to use the future tense after "prochain". eg L'année prochaine, il commence l'université AND En septembre prochain, Gareth visitera Madrid. In fact I'm a bit vague on Future/Present options in general....A pointer towards a lesson would be appreciated, Thanks.
How can I get better in dictée
Hi, in “Ce jour-là, tous les gens qui me connaissent le savent bien,” why are both connaître and savoir conjugated? There seems to be only one subject, so normally I find the second verb to be in the infinitive.
Is it "j'ai encore besoin de l'aide de mon fidèle dictionnaire !" Instead of j'ai encore besoin d' aide de mon fidèle dictionnaire!" because it is a specific dictionary that they are talking about?
May I suggest that it would be useful to include this link with the list of related grammar and vocab. It explains how Quebec is treated as a country rather than a province, ie. "au Quebec" rather than "dans le Quebec."
En/Dans = in/to + regions/states/counties (French Prepositions)In one quiz question it states :
Quand j'étais enfant, ________ au chœur du collège.
When I was a child, I used to belong to the high school choir.
(HINT: Use "appartenir" (to belong))
The correct English for collège is middle school. Lycée is high school.
Just to mention it, I’ve never heard anyone describe jumping from a diving board in this way. More conventionally, we’d instead say something like “and I’ll dive without fear”, or “and I’ll take the plunge without hesitation”.
Is the word “alors” necessary in the “a alors demandé Martine”?
