L'Iftar veut dire le dîner, non? Le soohor est le petit-déjeuner. :)
In the statement "mon fils a de grandes oreilles" , why is it not "DES grandes oreilles"? Ears is plural, and "de" is the article, and "grand" is following a feminine plural suit.... I've noticed this with other items, mostly body parts, like toes, fingers, eyes. They all use a plural article "les" but when describing them, it turns to "de"
If I said "he had cats" it would be "il a des chats", right? What am I not getting!?
I used avoir + monte because in the notes it says this means - to go up, but the answer uses etre. Please can someone help me with this? Many thanks, as always!
Hi I am a bit confused. I was reading about adverbs and I saw this sentence
Je t'aimerai pour toujours --> I will love you forever
I though the infinitive Te/t' would only follow sentences with Tu at the start. Is there a rule around since it's about someone else the 'Je' bit at the start isn't the subject?
Is there a topic on this specifically for me to understand?
Thanks,
Max
Hello, I don't understand why "As tu vu le cousin d'Eve ?" was marked wrong. I don't see anything indicating the cousin was female.
Bonjour et merci pour ce beaux exercise. Deux petits comments: En anglais vous avez ecrit "choose", qui et le present; vous voulez surement "chose", qui et le passe simple. :) Et une librarie et une bibliotheque ne sont pas la meme chose, oui? Merci ! Pardon le manque des accents.
I agree with Frank. In the audio there are complete phrases which are missing: "une poule faite en chocolat au lait"; and "un lapin fait en chocolat noir".
Also, the written summary at the end doesn't match what is given during the lesson. The answers given don't use the expression, "fait de" but simply use "de". Which leads me to the next question:
The use of "faite de + chocolat au lait/chocolat noir". The lesson related to this states that to describe what something is made of "en" or "de" is used and with foods "a la" or "au" to describe a flavor. Why then is "fait en..." used rather than "une poule en chocolat au lait" for example? And, why "une poule de chocolat" rather than, "une poule en chocolat"?
And, why "un beau rubin dore" rather than "un beau rubin en or" ?
Merci pour votre reponse.
I’ve seen this example a that doesn’t t follow the rule:. Elle pense à sa famille … Elle y pense
Why is the verb « aller » inserted in the answer ? « nous te disons de ne pas aller te coucher » . Why isn’t it « nous te disons de ne pas te coucher » ?
