Dans cette example : " C'est le vin le plus sec que l'on puisse trouver ", pourquoi on dit " que l'on " mais pas " qu'on " ?
This lesson is very confusing. Wow. I have so many questions, I don't know where to start!
Can one say "le jour avant" as well ?
Dear Céline,
I would be most grateful to know why "du" appears in "Vous vous rappeler du petit restaurant italien ..." and "de" in "Tu te rappelles ton professeur de maths."
The correct answer is "de crainte que tu ne sois."Why do we use the present subjunctive instead of theimparfait subjunctive or past subjunctive?
"They didn't go to the party for fear that you would be there."In English, I typically hear "out of fear" vs. "for fear."
Why do we pair le passé composé with the present subjunctive?The past action or inaction was in the past and the fear (of you) wasin the past. I submitted "fusses," but that was incorrect. I assumethat "aies été" was incorrect as well.
Is there a time period where you typically use imparfait (more thana day? or a week?) vs. passé composé with être?
I thought if vouloir was used as negative phrase, you didn't use the subjonctif tense...am I wrong?
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.
For the sentence, "I've faced many challenges since I became a parent...", why do you use the passe compose instead of the present tense? E.g., je rencontre de nombreux défis depuis que je suis devenu parent.
