What to do if there is only a noun and not a pronoun.
In the last sentence, "I will go there to cheer you on.", the word 'there' is translated as 'là' and the use of 'y' was not accepted. Is it just a question of emphasis? I searched for a lesson to clarify the usage of 'y' and 'là' but was not successful. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
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?
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.]
Hello,
I see there's an example: "Quels bonbons tu as choisis?"
I guess that because "bonbons" is a COD in this question and it stands before the verb "choisi" so the verb has to accord with the COD --> it becomes "chosis"
But when I use deepL to try another example: "Which dress did she wear?"
The answer is: "Quelle robe a-t-elle porté?"
My question is shouldn't it be: "Quelle robe a-t-elle portée?"
Or is there an exception I didn't know about? More examples relating to this is very much appreciated.
Thank you.
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!
For des bruits "rigolos," can I use "drôles?"
In the C1 writing exercise The King Cake, there is the phrase ‘ he or she will name out loud each person, who will then be given a piece of galette’.
The recommended translation of ‘who will then be given’ is ‘à qui on donnera ensuite’.
You could also say ‘à laquelle on donnera’ ?
