Are these correct?
1. J'étais née le lundi 26 mars 1983.
2. J'étais née lundi. (I was born on Monday) ...talking about a specific context / specific thing that happened on that day, so no "le" used?
3. La réunion est le mercredi 14 avril à 8h.
4. La réunion est mercredi. (The meeting is on Wednesday) .....talking about a specific context / specific thing that will happen on that day, so no "le" used?
"qu'on pouvait passer ses vacances ainsi" Why l'imparfait and not le conditionnel?
why is: You had your curtains changed, translated as "Tu as fait changer tes rideaux."
I understood that "had" uses the plus-que-parfait?
How would you write "Question of the Day"? For example, each day my french class starts with a "question of the day". I've been using jour but now I'm worried I've been incorrect.
While expressing present continous tense or future simple with present tense in french, I realy get confused on when to use auxiliary etre with subject pronoun and when not to use
If you translate 'the few savings she had left' as 'les maigres économies qui lui restaient' it is corrected to 'les maigres économies qui lui restait'. Is this a mistake?
Salut, j'ai trouvè cet exercise:
"..... tableau-... est beau, tandis que ... tableau-... est horrible".
La livraison dit de completer avec un adjectif démonstratif. Merci a tous.
Why not just "jusqu'août"? What does the 'en" bring that is not already there? Thanks.
Bonjour,
We know that indefinite articles "un/une/des" become "de" in negative form with the exception of verb être and verbs of states. But, does this rule also apply to the negative of interrogative sentence?
For example:
Il mange une pomme. -> Il ne mange pas de pomme.
Is the following also true?
Est-ce qu'il mange une pomme ? -> Est-ce qu'il ne mange pas de pomme ? and
Mange-t-il une pomme ? -> Ne mange-t-il pas de pomme ?
I didn't find any reference about negative interrogative and indefinite articles so have to ask to clear my doubt. Also, please confirm the case with negative interrogative and partitive articles.
merci beaucoup.
