May have found a missing translation. I put "j'ai choisi de passer le reste de la nuit dans les buissons de Mme. Maron !" and was marked wrong, but "j'ai décidé de passer le reste de la nuit dans les buissons de Mme Maron !" and "j'ai choisi de finir la nuit dans les buissons de Mme Maron !" are accepted translations.
I just realized that qui is used for living things, trick question eh
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?
Why is 'penser a' here, but not 'penser de' (opinion). Wouldn't it might be good to know that in addition to 'y' for a clause with 'a'; that 'en' for a clause with 'de' is appropriate (and, I think, clearer than just another 'le')?
[Sorry, I can't seem to do the accents, as needed.]
Hi when I create a notebook I'm asked if I want it to be made public or not. Where can I find these public notebooks?
Thanks, Jeramy
Bonjour. Je voudrais savoir pourquoi, spécialmente dans le journaux, de temps en temps il y a en la troisieme personne singuliere ce construction (existe-t-il, a-t-il...).
If you don't know the person, how can you use te; si vous ne connaissez pas cette personne, comment peut-on utiliser te?
Salut! Je me demands pourquoi on ne fait pas l'accord de gendre entre gosses nfpl et aucun dans l'exercise.
aucun/aucune agree in gender with the object it refers toYou have to use the negation ne/n' unlike in EnglishRelated example: Les filles sortent ce soir, mais aucune ne prend le train.
Is it assumed that gosses functions as a plural masculine noun in this context since the gender of the kids is non specified, despite the noun itself being feminine? I know we do an unfortunate amount of presuming masculinity in French, but want to understand completely. I feel I may be close to a new intuition here -- hoping that is why aucune is incorrect.
Merci d'avance pour l'aide!
Because "gens" is "people" - plural - I put "...les gens qui sortent constamment leurs portables de leurs poches". Is there anything in the pronuncation that I missed that showed it was definitely singular? Or is it a rule in french that you would always say "they took their phone from their pocket" unless they all owned several phones and were taking them out of more than one pocket each? Or...was my answer plausibly a correct hearing?
so you really just add an -e to the end of a adjective to make it feminine? is there any exceptions?
