does it mean "but it didn't depend on my fabulous boyfriend?" it just sounds a little weird...
D'accord:
"You will NOT use le when talking about weekdays in a specific context (on Monday):
Mercredi, tu iras à l'école.On Wednesday, you will go to school."
UNLESS "when giving a whole date (day/number/month/[year]), such as
Le mardi 5 mars, j'ai rencontré Lola.On Tuesday the 5th of March, I met Lola.
Par example on the test : Le mardi 6 janvier, j'étais malade.On Tuesday the 6th of January, I was sick.
HOWEVER< If the question was "On Tuesday I was sick" (without the whole date), it would be "Mardi, j'étais malade."
Is that correct?? Thanks
Can you give some examples with avoir besoin?
What is the difference between très and trop? Because it corrected me when I said "Il est très drôle" instead of "Il est trop drôle". Thanks!
Bonjour! Je m'appelle Linh et je viens d'Hanoi en Le Vietnam.
The English translation "I'm washing after you got up" is grammatically incorrect. You're essentially saying "I'm doing this after you did that", which makes no sense in English. The proper structure would be "I'm washing after you get up" (I'm doing this after you do that") or "I'm washing after you have gotten up" ("I'm doing this after you have done that").
This is one of the most frustrating things in studying any language, when you see a direct translation given that you know is grammatically incorrect (even if it is understandable by somebody who's fluent in the language that the sentence is being translated into) instead of a transliteration that makes more sense.
I keep pressing submit answer when I really mean to press play again so end up submitting no answer but can’t go back to the previous stage or start the exercise again. It would be easier if the play button was at the bottom. I’m using an iPad.
Bonjour,
We know that indefinite articles "un/une/des" become "de" in negative form with the exception of verb être and verbs of states. But, does this rule also apply to the negative of interrogative sentence?
For example:
Il mange une pomme. -> Il ne mange pas de pomme.
Is the following also true?
Est-ce qu'il mange une pomme ? -> Est-ce qu'il ne mange pas de pomme ? and
Mange-t-il une pomme ? -> Ne mange-t-il pas de pomme ?
I didn't find any reference about negative interrogative and indefinite articles so have to ask to clear my doubt. Also, please confirm the case with negative interrogative and partitive articles.
merci beaucoup.
