I used
1) 'récompensant' for 'gratifiant'
Also
2)'ausculter' for 'diagonistique'
3)pour sept ans instead of 'pendant sept ans'
Please let me know if its right
Merci
P.J
is diagnostiquer an er verb?
In this lesson the note about the conversational past states that in these cases, the en will be before or after être: formally, it should be before, but in practice, it often ends up after.
Following this advice I put "Nous en nous sommes allés après le dessert.". This was flagged as incorrect, and "Nous nous en sommes allés après le dessert." as being correct.
This seems inconsistent with the note. I see there have been other questions about this topic. To me, "nous en nous sommes" flows off the tongue better than "nous nous en sommes".
I just learned that etre exciter means being sexually aroused and not excited. Perhaps we can clarify. Les filles étaient tout excitées de voir le feu d'artifice.
What are the positives and negatives of moving to the countryside in French
Just a quick question. Is qu’est-ce que + noun always more formal? I found it a bit confusing that
a. the last two examples of it in Section 3 have no further mention of register and
b. in Sections 1 and 3 the examples go from less to more elegant, whereas in 2 it’s the other way round.
Do realise this is an A0 lesson, but the concepts behind it are quite challenging.
Hello everyone. I was taking a quiz in which I respond like this "nous nous sommes brossés les chevaux" but the site says that it is nearly correct and this version is correct " nous nous sommes brossé les chevaux". And it made me curious because the subject is plural and there is a reflexive verb!!!! Anyone could explain this contradiction?
Thanks
Why is does this sentence begin in passe compose when most of the story has been in the imparfait? "J'ai même commencé à prétendre que nous n'étions pas disponibles."
In this article, it says that when talking about specific things we should use il/elle.
Yet in the example, we see a sentence that says:
C'est le fils de Martha
Wouldn't we have to use il est instead of c'est here ? Just how many kids does Martha have that we have to use a generalizing statement like c'est instead ?
