French for "rifle" is "fusil", while "shotgun" is "fusil de chasse". This suggests the core French word "fusil" means something less specific than "rifle", which in English refers to the spiraled "rifling" along the inside of the barrel, which a shotgun lacks.
However, the Italian word "fusile" can mean either "rifle" or "shotgun", yet also spiral-shaped pasta, despite a shotgun lacking this.
Can anyone explain, s'il vous plait ?
Hello,
I just started B2 and I had a hard time understanding a lot of this. I'm wondering if I should go back to a B1 level for awhile. Please let me know whether this is normal.
Thank you
Even though the verb se moquer is reflexive, why don't you say me moquer if someone is mocking me, instead of se moquer as one test question has it?
Not a question, but sounds like a great day I'd like to do merci beaucoup :)
Merci pour les nouveaux exercices d’écoute !
I was a little confused, as it suggested using the simple past tense, but also uses the past historic...something I need to make sure I understand in terms of the context!
does it mean "but it didn't depend on my fabulous boyfriend?" it just sounds a little weird...
How can I get better in dictée
Can you explain grammatically the construction if this phrase? I get that it means "we got home from school", but it seems unnecessarily complicated. Could you not say "nous étions retourné de l'école"?
