Can anyone explain why "rapidement" goes to the end of the sentence here. I placed it between "peux" and "regarder" as I thought adverbs went between an auxilliary/modal verb and the participle/infinitive. According to the solutions given this was the correct placing for "vite" but "rapidement" was placed at the end of the sentence.
HI,
I forget what lesson in A1 I saw this and now I can't find it. But one sentence has c'est un Vieux sac for it's an old bag but the second one is c'est un vieil home for he's an old man. My question is why is c'est for he is or she is shouldn't it be il/Elle est?
Thanks
Nicole
"qu'on pouvait passer ses vacances ainsi" Why l'imparfait and not le conditionnel?
I was marked only partially correct in answering the question: Another way of saying "Vous vous souvenez des îles Cyclades" is "Vous ________ îles Cyclades"
I answered “Vous vous rappelez des îles Cyclades” and was informed that Vous vous rappeles des was another possibility.
Why do you not receive full credit if an answer is correct regardless of other options in this case?
In conjugation tables, I have not seen this ending with vous. Could you please address this issue?
Thank you.
Hello I have difficulty understanding this phrase from a podcast. Does it mean it changed a week ago?
I have a question about the number one in front of larger numbers. Is One hundred million written ‘un cent milliards’, ‘une cent milliards’ or ‘cent milliards’
The correct answer is "de crainte que tu ne sois."Why do we use the present subjunctive instead of theimparfait subjunctive or past subjunctive?
"They didn't go to the party for fear that you would be there."In English, I typically hear "out of fear" vs. "for fear."
Why do we pair le passé composé with the present subjunctive?The past action or inaction was in the past and the fear (of you) wasin the past. I submitted "fusses," but that was incorrect. I assumethat "aies été" was incorrect as well.
Is there a time period where you typically use imparfait (more thana day? or a week?) vs. passé composé with être?
The sentence " Elle porte aussi des vêtements très originaux" - the word vêtements - sounds like jetements.
Could I technically ask Qu'est-ce qu'il y a la distance entre Paris et Lyon? Would that make sense considering "il y a" can be used in questions.
Can you also have "Je n'ai pas du tout été surprise"?
