Can someone please clarify why the tenses jump from imperfect to present in the final sentence? Thanks!
The sentence " Elle porte aussi des vêtements très originaux" - the word vêtements - sounds like jetements.
Bonjour, pourriez-vous changer un petit truc dans le passage, s’il vous plaît? Au lieu de la phrase
Why do you use translations in the full text playback that are not the translations said to be the best when providing feedback on the student-submitted translations? Are they perhaps the ones used most by native speakers.
Why is it "Elle fait exprès d'être en retard." and not "Elle a fait exprès d'être en retard.
when to use an article with a country
Des boules Quiès- is that a brand name?Great lesson, thanks.
Can one say 'avec qui' in this case also?
The correct answer is "de crainte que tu ne sois."Why do we use the present subjunctive instead of theimparfait subjunctive or past subjunctive?
"They didn't go to the party for fear that you would be there."In English, I typically hear "out of fear" vs. "for fear."
Why do we pair le passé composé with the present subjunctive?The past action or inaction was in the past and the fear (of you) wasin the past. I submitted "fusses," but that was incorrect. I assumethat "aies été" was incorrect as well.
Is there a time period where you typically use imparfait (more thana day? or a week?) vs. passé composé with être?
