Hi,
Is there a lesson that explains the difference between amener and emmener as I am always mixing them up !
Thanks
I’ve seen this example a that doesn’t t follow the rule:. Elle pense à sa famille … Elle y pense
It would be really great if this VERY important concept of Direct Object could be added to this lesson. - https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/questions/view/wrong-answer-nous-sommes-brosse .
More importantly because, this lesson says this « Note that when être is used as the auxiliary in compound tenses such as Le Passé Composé, the past participle must always agree in gender and number with the subject of the verb.» --- and this statement is not true for this lesson on reflexive verbs as per the link. It creates a confusion. Kindly rectify this incorrect statement and help us new learners with the necessary concept within this lesson, please!
Thank You.
"qu'on pouvait passer ses vacances ainsi" Why l'imparfait and not le conditionnel?
I find the questions which ask things like "If I say "Tu es français.", who am I speaking to: Lucie or Hugo?" quite frustrating, because the gendering of names isn't fixed. According to https://madame.lefigaro.fr/prenoms/prenom/garcon/lucie, Lucie, whilst predominantely feminine, has been a mixed name for over a century.
It might be helpful to add a hint to these kinds of questions that says "Hugo is male, Lucie is female".Why is “You remind him of Audrey Hepburn." ? Translated into “Tu lui rappelles Audrey Hepburn.”
Isn’t it missing an “à” as per lesson guidelines? Shouldn’t it be “Tu rappelles Audrey Hepburn à lui”?
Can you say "la plupart de mon weekend" or "la majorite de mon weekend" here?
It seems to me in the phrase
Je n'aime pas non plus certains supporters qui peuvent être violents ou même racistes
It should be either "violentes ou racistes" ou "violents ou racists". If the reference is "supporteurs" , I would think it would be masculine, making the adjectives masculine.
I see that the preferred translation for 'my thirst for reading' is 'ma soif de lecture' but I don't see how this relates to article use. She has a thirst for reading in general / the idea of reading. If she had 'an enthusiasm for reading' it would surely be 'un enthousiasme pour la lecture'. What am I missing?
