When do we use ‘eux’ for them, instead of ‘leur?’
On a quiz, the question was "Il est_________ (It's ten past three o'clock)(Hint use the 12 hour clock) " I wrote Il est quinze heures dix. The only accepted answer was "Il est trois heures dix". There was no indication that it was supposed to be AM. Can you please either arrange to have it accept both AM and PM or at least indicate that you specifically needed AM or PM in the question.
Thank you!
Aujourd'hui je récolte beaucoup de citrouilles de me jardins. Presque trente en tout. Nous avons eu un peu de gel mais demains j'espère récolter le reste du maïs doux pour les geler. Je suis en accord. J'adore l'automne!!
In your lesson, you describe …aine as being ‘about’ or ‘or so’ and yet in the example you translate deux douzaine… as being ‘two dozen’. In UK English , a dozen is NORMALLY, exactly 12, but I acknowledge it CAN also have ‘or so’ connotations. Perhaps not the best example? Love the site for learning French by the way. Much better than well-known alternatives)
whysit all rhyming with ec?
Hello! How can I correctly invite someone to walk to the park with me? Thank you!
So - how would you say - "That shirt suits you well, but it doesn't fit you"
Yes, I know there are other ways to express this eg. "It suits you but you need to find a smaller size". But I'm specifically looking for how the two are differentiated using 'aller a'.
TIA
Sorry for this very small quibble - the above sentence from the microquiz isn’t idiomatic English and I can’t think when I would say it. Who is making "the noise", "that noise" or even "a noise" are possible.
Is me a direct object here. I cannot find a definition for 'se traverser'
