The speech on this recording is very unclear. I really struggled to make out the words, even after listening to each phrase multiple times.
For the phrase, "je suis né pour travailler dans ce domaine." the audio says something like, "je suis né pour cette vocation."
so I was doing a quiz on Kwiziq and the question was "C'est amusant." means: to which I answered "it is funny". It gave me an 'almost there' mark and I don't get why. It says the right one is 'This is funny'.
In the phrase, "où ils lui ont confisqué son portable", Why is "lui" there? If it's a pronoun for "him" why does it need to be there? (The subject is "they", the verb is "confiscated" and the object is "his mobile phone".) What grammer rule requires "him" to be part of this sentence? Is there a lesson that explains the answer (I feel like I've missed something).
Bonjour à toutes et à tous,
Few Qs on this exercise:
1. I'm not entirely sure why the phrase below is in the subjonctif passé - can someone please explain? I had used the subjonctif présent.
Bien que mon père et moi ayons passé du temps à sécuriser les volets cet après-midi-là
2. Given we've just mentioned the night in question, can one not use 'elle' rather than 'ça' in the phrase below?
Quand je pense à cette nuit-là, ça me fait toujours frissonner !
3. What is the difference between rameaux et branches? I had used the former.
Merci!
Nick
Could the following phrase given above:
Merci à Léa et Julie, sans l'aide desquelles rien n'aurait été possible
also be phrased as:
Merci à Léa et Julie, sans desquelles rien n'aurait pu etre possible
I find this lesson unusually long and confusing. Maybe better to break it up into smaller lessons?
In spoken French, do Conditionnel Passé and Le Futur Antérieur sound noticeable different? It seems like it would be confusing.
If the expression was write your name here, an action for signing an agreement, could you use ecrivez in place of incrivez which means register.
