Salut,
pourquoi on dit "C'est un ange !" quand on parle de la fillette ?
la fillette = elle, n'est-ce pas?
Merci.
Merci, j'ai aimé le nouveau vocabulaire.
alors, est-ce que "faire un carton", "se défouler" "bluffant" et "mal en point" sont des expressions assez courantes maintenant?
Can you use en when saying “J’habite à/au/dans Michigan? I got stumped because of a post saying you can use en, although I though this is when it’s feminine…
Instead of
mon reste de ragoût
Could you say
Il reste de mon ragoût. ?
The lessons says to use either. Where is the explanation/lesson details?
This point has been already raised in an answer to a previous question but has not received any attention. So would like to pick it up again.
I have two grammar books containing examples with "dont" and numbers which do not state this requirement for "qui". For brevity I will just cite one of them:
"Grammaire Progressive du Français B1 B2", 2019, p.116:
"Ils ont trois grands enfants dont deux sont médecins."
So my assumption is that "qui" is not required, if the "number" is the subject of the next sentence.
I am going to be fitted with hearing aids today. It is interesting that i heard surclassement as surplacement (which isn't even apparently a word). Surclassement - upgrade - is a new word to me today! Yay. I guess this level is still very easy for me. Also, I am on a Macbook Air, which means for whatever reason that I am getting both YOUR popup menu for accents, and the one that is inherent in the Mac. That's why the first part of this exercise, the accent came out wrong. I guess I need to slow down and review what I've typed, even when I think I typed it correctly. But I would like to know if I can supress your popup accent menu.
Thanks.
I believe the English should say ‘Tomorrow Federer will lose to Roland Garros’.
I translated "famous sculpteur" as "sculpteur connu" but all the suggested answers used "célèbre" instead. Is there a difference? I thought they meant the same thing.
Also, my dictionary translates "versatility" as "polyvalence" in French, and it says that "versatilité" in French actually means fickleness/changeability. Just wanted to clarify.
