J'ai besoin de supplementaire information sur l'usage de "en tant que". Remercie de votre assistance.
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.
Why not Patrick sent mal
I sometimes see references to "des" as being a plural partitive article.
This relates to uncountable/mass nouns. So my query is:-
How is it possible to have a plural uncountable noun?
and then to try to express "some" of this uncountable/mass noun?
Why "a bu dans ma gourde"? Drank in my flask? Why not "a bu de ma gourde"?
When doing the writing tests, I find myself regularly struggling with knowing when to place accents (and regularly second-guessing myself too!).
Are there any rules of thumb to help with this? For example, the 'ô' seems to always appear in words which sound similar in english and one would place an 's': eg hôpital, hôtel, hôte, etc.
I generally have trouble with accented 'e's (ignoring the "obvious" accents, such as when using the passé composé and other conjugation rules) so any advice would be very welcome.
I'm having a terrible time with pronunciation of these verbs. Google translate doesn't pick it up well even when I play clips of the native speakers. Any suggestions?
Why is it 'Elle me rappelle Paula' rather than 'elle rappelle Paula à moi' ?
Why is the definite article not excluded from:
J'ai peur des araignées. just as it is excluded from the verbal phrase:
J'ai besoin de farine. or even : J'ai besoin d'araignées
It seems inconsistent. Is it?
When would you use this expression (s`en aller) instead of the verb partir? Je m`en vais or Je pars.
