Hello everyone. I was taking a quiz in which I respond like this "nous nous sommes brossés les chevaux" but the site says that it is nearly correct and this version is correct " nous nous sommes brossé les chevaux". And it made me curious because the subject is plural and there is a reflexive verb!!!! Anyone could explain this contradiction?
Thanks
Why is it "je te l'avais dit" and not "je te l'ai dit!"?
Thanks!
I don’t understand how to know whether this refers to a person (WHOM do you miss) or to a thing (WHAT are you missing).
The first sentence, "il faut vraiment que l'on discute de ta mère" is the contraction l'on for "le" or "la" ? I still don't get why it is even needed. Would it not work to say, "...qu'on disute de ta mère" which then maps to English as "that we discuss about your mother".
I'm guessing that it's a direct object pronoun, but then why isn't "de ta mére" the object of the sentence?
Why is "elle va ne pas partir" wrong?
Instead of
mon reste de ragoût
Could you say
Il reste de mon ragoût. ?
Hi,
Is there a lesson that explains the difference between amener and emmener as I am always mixing them up !
Thanks
Should “tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvais” be “tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvaises” so that “mauvaises” agrees with “chaussettes”?
Qu est -ce( derections) Select 4 landmarks in Paris. A museum (the Louvre) A shop Grand Magasins (le Printemps - Le Bon Marche - Galerie La Fayette) A church/ catedral A palace Ask for directions: Ou est-ce
I do not understand why in the above sentence écrit (pp of écrire?) has an 'extra' e. I understand this only applies to être verbs + avoir if object preceeds verb?
