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
I kept getting corrected for using a capital letter after the "-" at the start of a line of dialogue. But it was frustratingly inconsistent—later I would get corrected for not using one. And the final text is displayed with capital letters in all cases. What's going on/what's the rule?
On a quiz, the question was "Il est_________ (It's ten past three o'clock)(Hint use the 12 hour clock) " I wrote Il est quinze heures dix. The only accepted answer was "Il est trois heures dix". There was no indication that it was supposed to be AM. Can you please either arrange to have it accept both AM and PM or at least indicate that you specifically needed AM or PM in the question.
Thank you!
Why is it singular for "globe oculaire?" The English phrase would seem to be "in the shape of eye balls" since glaçons is plural. It would be a bit strange to write in English "eye ball shaped ice cream scoops." There are just too many qualifiers of scoops, IMHO.
In this structure in English, you can use either an object pronoun or a subject pronoun plus a verb. You can't use a subject pronoun without a verb. "She is taller than me." OR "She is taller than I am." BUT NOT "She is taller than I."
I was speaking to a French woman today and I said, "My eyes didn't itch":
Mes yeux n'ont pas démangé. Elle m'a corrige est dit : Mes yeux ne m'ont pas démangé.
If the latter is correct, do you use 'me'because you're talking about a body part? If so wouldn't you use "sont"? Or , is there some other explanation?
Can someone please clarify why the tenses jump from imperfect to present in the final sentence? Thanks!
Why is there no de with this sentence? J'espère ne pas faire d'erreurs.
I hope not to make a mistake.Hi, in
“Autre ancienne élève de l'émission de télé-crochet de M6 ayant rencontré le succès”,
why is “ayant rencontré” used? Could “avoir rencontré” have been used instead? Would the meaning then be different?
The French name of the exercise is written as ‘“My” liste de courses’
