J'ai vraiment apprécié cette dictée. J'ai adoré leur enthousiasme pour les Bleus. Je regarde la Coupe du Monde tous les 4 ans bien que je ne connaisse pas grand chose au foot!
Ex- "Je n'aime pas les foules et je déteste danser" from "
I don't like crowds and I hate dancing"
I came up with "Je deteste les foules et je hate danser"
Some vernacular examples would help.
A kwiz I took marked "seize heures moins vingt" as incorrect (correct answer "quinze heures quarante").Am I to understand that you can't use "moins" constructions for >12 hours at all? In this lesson you only mention "moins le quart" being wrong.
Hello, I am wondering why to use "c´est" instead of "elle est" to translate "she is an angel". Doesn't "c´est" mean "it is", used to describe an object? Can you use "c´est" about a person and why is it better than simply saying "elle est"?
This doesn't come very naturally to me at all. How do I know which verbs should be followed by "à" and thus use lui in these affirmative commands?
tu lis pour te relaxer, you read to relax, why te is used for to and not au?
Although, the meaning of "bien avoir" can be surmised from the context, I still wanted to do some research. I was unable to find any information in Collins Dictionary, LaRousse or even Reverso.
I take it, "Tu m'as bien eu !" to mean something like, "You really fooled me!"
Does anyone have any insight into this particular phrase?
Merci a tous ! This was a fun little story.
En place de: Il ne faut pas que nous mangions avec nos doigts, puisqu'on dire: I faut que nous ne mangions pas avec nos doigts?
According to https://www.lawlessfrench.com/subjunctivisor/considerer/ this should not be subjunctive. (Strictly speaking)
I am presuming the use of subjunctive here is that the speaker is willing to allow some doubt into her suggestion ? I.e. that She accepts her opinion may not be correct, or that the point is debatable ?
Paul.
-> Please ignore this question, I can't delete it now, I think it's actually "le meilleur roman qui" which means the subjunctive is used in this context. Does that sound like the correct answer ?
I find this lesson unusually long and confusing. Maybe better to break it up into smaller lessons?
