Quand La Premiere Guerre Mondial a-t-elle commence. This seems an awkward construction, but perhaps not. Could one say: La premiere Guerre Mondial quand a-t-elle commence? Please excuse the lack of punctuation.
A couple of the examples appear to use être in constructing the past tense:
Yann est passé par ton quartier
While others use avoir:
Nous avons passé une semaine
The answer given is "n'y connaît rien." Seems to me this should be "n'y savait rien." This refers to knowing how to navigate a lock. Knowing how is savoir.
Can one also say ' je m'en servirai d'une'?
It wasn't offered as an option.
Thanks
In the line “The second page seemed almost identical to the previous one” the answers do not contain a word for “almost”, such as “presque”. Is this intentional, or should the answers be corrected?
For reference, the answers are: (i) La seconde page avait l'air identique à la précédente, (ii) La deuxième page avait l'air identique à la précédente, (iii) La deuxième image paraissait identique à la précédente, (iv) La deuxième page semblait identique à la précédente.
Thanks, Brian
The lesson gives two answers, one with "aussi" and "plein d' ", and one with "également" and "beaucoup". The final text uses "aussi" and "beaucoup": "Je mange aussi beaucoup d'abricots."
So, is it ok to match aussi/également with plein d'/beaucoup and vice versa?
Can you explain the difference? When I looked up branch (of a river), my dictionary gave branchement. This was not accepted in the context of this story.
