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?
I am not sure why the subjunctive is used here. I understand that trouver takes indicative in the affirmative, but subjunctive if negative. Here it is affirmative, so presumably the word étrange is causing the change in tense. Perhaps because étrange has a negative connotation, or perhaps simply because it is an adjective, as in être étrange que ..
Is there a way to add accents on the letters? I don't have them on my keyboard...I still enjoyed this practice though!
Où se trouve ce pont magnifique?
In the test, I got the following question
"Elle a mangé tout le gâteau !" means:
- She is eating all the cake!
- She ate all the cake!
- She is going to eat all the cake!
- She has eaten all the cake!
- She had eaten eat all the cake!
Could you please explain why we you believe 'she has eaten all the cake' is correct but not 'she had eaten all the cake'? How would we say she had eaten all the cake in French and why is this not passé composé?
Can you have "je courrai sur le tapis roulant pour une demie heure" because its the future tense?
Replace les noms par les pronouns
"by punching a wall" - how does this translate to the above and why? the phrase is "donner un coup de poing" so why is it "un" replaced with "des" here? and why is "dans le mur" when it says "punching A wall"?
