I don't understand why in this lesson the example is given i.e. the ez is dropped from the verb
-Donne-moi les fleurs!
-Give me the flowers!
However, I have been marked as incorrect by doing what seems to be the exact same thing.
Make this statement into an order : "Vous me donnez les fleurs": ________ les fleurs!imperative
· Donnez-moi RIGHT
· Donne-moi WRONG
Is this a mistake on your part or am I missing something here?
Qu'est-ce c'est la différence en français entre "he made the dish, which she loved" (she loved that he made it) et "he made the dish that she loved" (it is her favorite dish)?
For future reference thoug... is this how I should ask if I were in a deli for instance. Instead of saying "vous" I use "on" ..thus avoiding the interpretation of "do YOU have" and correctly directing the question "do they (the cafe/deli) have?"... Seems a trivial point but I am curious.
I got marked wrong for writing "Depuis que Amandine...". This is correct, I believe, given that Amandine is a proper noun. Am I wrong here?
For the sentence, "I've faced many challenges since I became a parent...", why do you use the passe compose instead of the present tense? E.g., je rencontre de nombreux défis depuis que je suis devenu parent.
Where has the link to this lesson gone for above mentioned special cases of past participle agreeing with the object when using avoir? I would like to see this lesson,it is not popping up in my feed as the question is only testing Quelles (A2)..
Thanks, Danielle
The examples use avoir but the text says use etre - I am confused
In the sentence which begins as "As for Grandad, he would slump into...", there are several acceptable choices for "slump into", including s'effondrer and s'affaler. I chose s'écrouler based on a definition in Wordreference. This was not accepted. Should it have been?
I was wondering where we are supposed to place these constructions within sentences and clauses. Some translations show after the entire clause or sentence, some show after the verb.
- Nous les avons tous les deux vu(e)s
- Nous les avons vu(e)s tous les deux
- Lui et son frère sont venus tous les deux
A general lesson about saying 'both' to describe people and objects should be made.
Why does "important" and "magnifique" come before the nouns here? -
Usually the adjectives go after the noun.
1. Dominé par une magnifique abbaye construite en l’honneur de Saint-Michel.
2. C’est un important centre religieux.
