While expressing present continous tense or future simple with present tense in french, I realy get confused on when to use auxiliary etre with subject pronoun and when not to use
Here it is
‚c‘est M.Dupont qui était responsable…‘
Is this an expression that always uses the present tense followed by the imperfect? Could you use imperfect and imperfect in this example ……c‘était M. Dupont qui était…..
Thank you
There is a typo I think in the table of irregular adverbs. Meilleure translates as best, not better.
Please can some explain why the subjunctive mood is used in the sentence - Qu'est-ce que tu dirais qu'on se fasse une double séance en son honneur?
Cette sculpture est la plus belle ...
Please could you explain why 'que vous ayez jamais vue' is not accepted, when the English states 'this sculpture is the most beautiful you have ever seen'. There is no Hint to say whether the 'you' should be 'to a friend' and the only French answer accepted is 'que tu aies jamais vue'. Merci!
My question relates to "Kwiz functionality", rather than anything in this lesson. I could ask the same question in any other Lesson.
I prefer the 2-question Kwizzes to the 10-question Kwizzes.
If I try to repeat the same quiz, I get the message: "This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like."
That's fair enough.
I do:
- Go to Notebook
- Open this same lesson.
- (The URL is obviously different, but text is the same).
- Scroll down to the 2-question Kwiz
- I see the same negative message.
So, how do I "...kwiz this topic as many times as you like." ?
Thanks.
... car le bureau de poste local n'offrait plus ce service.
In this section of the sentence the 'S' at the end of 'pluS' is pronounced. This seems at odds with the lesson 'Ne ... plus = no more/no longer' which states: -
Note that when plus has a negative meaning (no more), you don't pronounce the final 's', except when you do the liaison with a vowel following ('z' sound).
... in the exercise plus is followed by 'ce' and 'ce' does not start with a vowel and as such should not be pronounced?
when writing about being somewhere, when do you use à and when do you use de?
Currently, I am doing a part time job.
Hi. There used to be a button to repeat the exercise once you'd finished it? At this level it's really useful to be able to do that.
