If you wanted to say "You are not going to drive me...", would you say "Tu ne me conduis pas..."?
j'ai souvent entendu le mot voisinage comme alternatif à quartier - est-ce c'est vrai?
What to do if there is only a noun and not a pronoun.
The exercise skipped forward several times before I could grade myself. Some sort of glitch in the system, or did I do something wrong inadvertently?
Où se trouve ce pont magnifique?
Two simple questions:i
I retook the exercise and used 'observer' instead of 'regarder' as I think it would work just fine in this case, but it was marked wrong. From the dictionary entry it seems that observer would apply equally well in this case.
I also used 'le Moyen Age' instead of 'l'epoque medievale'. I realise that the latter is a more direct translation, but I am much more familiar with 'le Moyen Age'. Is there a general preference for one experession over the other?
Merci a tous !
I was doing the exercise (https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/judge/1833/14548249?response=4150265&page=7) to answer a question and now have one of my own:
There's the phrase: visiter les ruines du vieux château.
How come the rule that the definite article is omitted if there's an adjective intervening between de and the noun is not applicable here? I would have thought this should be ...de vieux château.
When would you use this expression (s`en aller) instead of the verb partir? Je m`en vais or Je pars.
I was corrected when translating "love" with adorer instead of aimer, but on my next quiz "love" was translated with adorer. Is there a way to remember which to use? They were both regarding inanimate objects.
Thanks!
Can anyone explain what the difference between the passe compose and past perfect forms of devoir are? google translate shows them as being the same thing:
J'ai dû faire quelque chose -> I had to do something
J'avais dû faire quelque chose -> I had to do something
Similarly what is the difference between the future and conditional forms:
j'aurai dû faire quelque chose -> I should have done something
j'aurais dû faire quelque chose -> I should have done something
Thanks!
