I believe that “I arrived the day he left” refers to a non-specific timeframe and therefore should use the feminine form, but it was marked wrong on my test and the masculine “la jour” was said to be correct instead. Can someone explain to me why this would be the case, or if it’s an error?
Just to let you know, for “OK, but it's on me!” the first answer “Ok, mais c'est moi qui t'invite !” doesn’t have an audio file.
I am very confused:
Ex: After YOU visited the city, YOU… ( same subject). Why is it translated by: « après que vous avez visité la ville, vous… instead of « après avoir visité la ville, vous… ». Merci de me répondre.
She seized his wrist is translated.."Elle lui saisait le poignet." Why is the "lui" there?
Comment je peux dire en Français
The french language has many exceptions.
Merci beaucoup
In the sentence, "De plus, l'aspect défi de cette initiative permet de déstigmatiser la non-consommation d'alcool...", I don't understand 'l'aspect défi'. In my dictionary, aspect and défi are both nouns, aspect and challenge respectively. Can you first translate and then explain? Thanks.
Which tense would lendemain be , as it can be used in both imparfait,future anterieur
how can i distinguish which verbs with direct object, which with indirect object? i did a lot of wrong answers because of that.
It says here that we don’t use en for de + people, but we use stress pronouns. I know when to use EN, but sometimes I struggle to decide whether to use stress pronouns or COI, because they are both for people, and COI is for indirect objects, so basically it can be used for verbs with DE as well? I know few examples where we always use COI, like parle de, penser.. but, other than that I am never sure.Thanks
In this sentence - 'Ce n'est pas tant qu'elle n'aime pas ça, mais plutôt qu'elle aime trop ça ' - why is ça preferred over le? Does 'Ce n'est pas tant qu'elle ne l'aime pas, mais plutôt qu'elle l'aime trop' sound wrong to French ears?
