Je peux dire ( Ferme le robiner ! )?
Merci beaucoup
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?
Hi, I think there are too many hints in many of these exercises (including this one). Specifically, the type of hint that tells you what word or words to use. These prevent you from making your own attempt. Personally, I’d remove these.
why is 'regarder' in the infinitive when the word is 'looked' which is in past tense? why isn't it 'regardé' ?
If you don't know the person, how can you use te; si vous ne connaissez pas cette personne, comment peut-on utiliser te?
Hello,
I'd like to know why the C1 quizzes focus so extensively on the Passé Simple. The tense is never used in speaking, (except perhaps in a stilted academic discourse), and is encountered primarily when reading.
For example, on a recent C1 quiz, seven of the ten questions were on the Passé Simple. I'd rather have my quizzes focus more on idiomatic expressions. Instead, the passé simple questions come up over and over again, even when I score a perfect "10" on a given quiz.
Thanks,
Greg
Why are Saints’ days feminine if the saint is masculine?
Are all feast days feminine?
Instead of
mon reste de ragoût
Could you say
Il reste de mon ragoût. ?
One of the hardest ones yet! It showed me that I am clearly not ready for a French aerobics class yet, so at least there's that, haha!
