You and them are going to have fun!
as a lifelong English speaker (and teacher) this sounds odd, well ungrammatical actually. Surely we would say, or at leadt write:
You and them, you are going to have fun!
as in French.
In the third line of the dialog, if using inversion "Savez-vous à quelle heure nous atterrissons?", the audio in the exercise has several extra words that do not match the text. I can't remember exactly what they were but at the beginning it says "Pascal", like there were cues for the dialog that were being read as the dialog.
Can’t there be two correct answers to this statement about France’s territory depending on whether you are referring to ‘the territory’ or the territories ‘climate and relief’?
… isn’t it?
Avoir besoin de. Avoir envie de. Devoir. I try guessing by picking one or two or three depending on the activity and invariably get it wrong. I think your explanatory text needs more clarification, especially in the use of avoir envie de as an option for ‘need to’. Thank you for your time.
The answer is AU, but why? Quebec is a not a country nor continent. Why not DANS LE? As for region/states/counties
When I click on the text "et installent projecteurs et caméras", the translation you provide is "and install projectors and videocameras". There are several ways to translate "projecteur" into English: it can also mean floodlight, spotlight and searchlight, besides the obvious translation "projector".
They weren't entertaining Marshall Jodl by showing him movies. And even if they were, why would they need more than one projector? Given the context, a much more likely translation of "projecteurs" is "floodlights".
Is there a rule about using hyphens with 'et un' when added to thirty, etc.?
I have a question in these two sentences: 1. Tu ne me le donnes pas. 2. Tu ne la lui écris pas. What is the correct order of indirect pronoun and object pronoun? In the first sentence, it seems that the order is indirect(me) + object(le), but in the second one, it becomes object(la) + indirect(lui). Is there anything wrong here? Or both are correct, that this order doesn’t matter?
Les livres desquels je pense sont remarquable. The books I am thinking of are remarkable; the preposition here is de.
During the first sentence below, I find it super hard to pick up the 'eu' after déjà - is it actually there?!
- As-tu déjà eu l'occasion de séjourner à l'Hôtel du Palais à Biarritz ?
