Why is there no de with this sentence? J'espère ne pas faire d'erreurs.
I hope not to make a mistake.In answer to Stephen's question:
Aurelie wanted to write a little poem for us to make it more fun and enjoyable.
"Baluchon" rhymes with "regions".
I learned a new word: "Baluchon". It is a bit old-fashioned and I can picture a hobo with his "baluchon" over his shoulder.
This lesson was also a nice review of: "galettes" and "beffroi".
Merci !
... s'il vous plait.
Context and interpretation is not being considered in My answers... Why?
I ask this because I would like to know if They want Direct Translations or do They want to Same Essence of what is being said?
In the list of words to be familiar with at the beginning of this exercise, "nutmeg" (the last word given) is included for some reason.
I’m not familiar with this use of "valoir" and was expecting a causative construction like "faire recevoir" - can someone kindly help me with a reference?
Also the end of the first sentence "in the women's right struggle" UK English would usually have "rights" in the plural, as in French.
My biggest mistakes at this simple point in A1 are because I don't know the word as opposed to missing the grammar rules (parce que, par, oeuvres, etc.). When I make mistakes the lessons recommended are almost always about the grammar -- are there lessons or suggestions for picking up more vocabulary? (although I'm suspecting that just doing exercises is the best way to get exposed to more words :-) )
What's the origin of se recueillir as a verb for "to meditate"? It seems so different than the verb recueillir meaning "to note" or "to collect". If one wants to say one is practicing meditation should one use se recueillir or méditer ?
The English sentence says "She can sing", not "She knows how to sing". I know how to sing but I can't sing because my voice is terrible. Can all French people (or Quebecoise) who know how to sing, actually sing???
