I was marked wrong for typing the latter response. Is this because the subject (nous) does not change? Therefore the second part of the sentence must remain in the infinitive?
Il a vu ________ de ses amis, mais pas l'autre.He saw one of his friends, but not the other.
The answer calls for
Why doesn’t the past participle take an extra ‘s’ with ‘nous’. Isn’t there more than one person, like ‘ils’?
On ne peut pas dire on peut le faire?
Pourqoi disons-nous "un étrange personnage", quand "une personne étrange" sonne plus français ?
For this Kwiziq question I put: Katie appelle Sonia au cas où elle aurait du retard
It was marked wrong, but I think that should also be accepted? avoir du retard = to be late
Nick
p.s. is it less common to use avoir du retard than être en retard?
dont la renommée rayonne encore:
whose reKnown still shines → whose renown still shines
Can someone please clarify why the tenses jump from imperfect to present in the final sentence? Thanks!
Could anybody help me with the form of the word: 'cochant'?
I have learned third person plural conjugation is cochent, but this word 'cochant' I couldn't find in a dictionary.
As you know, cocher is infinitive form of verb but what about cochant? Please!
The original context: "Répondez aux questions en cochant la ou less bonne response."
Please help me!
