Nous avons visité une exposition qu'un ami a recommandée.
If 'que' referred to 'un musée', then the past participle would lack the final 'e'?
In english (maybe just NZ?) we use the expression "tell me about it" as a sort of ironic way of saying that you share not-so-good experiences with someone. eg. Speaker 1 - it was so hot last night, I couldn't sleep. Speaker 2 - tell me about it (meaning I had the same experience). Is Parle-m'en used the same way?
Please Kwiziq do not be like Duolingo and be inflexible with the words allowed/considered correct. Faire de la soupe et préparer de la soupe are synonymous and both should be correct.
In one of the dictées, I ran into the expression "d'autant que je me souvienne"...par exemple, je n'aime pas les aliments sucrés d'autant que je me souvienne." I haven't liked sweet foods for as long as I can remember (or maybe more literally "for as much as I remember." Why is "de" used before avant que? Does that kind of replace "for" in English? And why does it take the subjunctive? I'm guessing that perhaps it takes the subjunctive because memory is fallible and perhaps there's an element of doubt? Perhaps one is not remembering correctly?
For this to be correct, doesn’t the subject have to be female? I answered that only “Tu as apparu comme un ange” was the only correct answer because I couldn’t assume that the sub just was female
Context and interpretation is not being considered in My answers... Why?
I ask this because I would like to know if They want Direct Translations or do They want to Same Essence of what is being said?
Why not just "jusqu'août"? What does the 'en" bring that is not already there? Thanks.
Hi. I understand that one could say "Je donne les requins à Anne" (i.e. "I am giving the sharks to Anne...imagine that Anne is a marine biologist) or "Je les donne à Anne" (i.e. I am giving them to Anne) or Je les lui donne" (i.e. I am giving them to her). However, how would one say "I am giving Anne to the sharks" (imagine that Anne has upset the local mafia) using a double pronoun (i.e. "I am giving her to them"? Presumably, one cannot say "Je lui les donne" (because it would violate the rules on the order of pronouns)? What about "Je y lui donne"? Any help gratefully received.
Can someone explain difference between 'brun' and 'marron' in french with examples?
