During a quiz, the question posed was,
Vous _______________ dans le placard.
I conjugated it as Vous êtes cachés but it marked it as wrong. Is there a distinction when the subject is to one person? I am a bit confused.
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.
Could "bivouaquer" be used to say set up camp?
In a recent test question: "In 1515, Francis I won the battle of Marignano." the correct answer was "a gagné" and not "gagne". Why does the "Historical Present" not apply in this case ?https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/questions/view/using-the-present-tense-like-the-past
I read in the site somewhere that with body parts its always the definite article and not possessive adjective. But here its says ses joues and i think son coeur.
I found this really hard to follow. I had to repeat each section multiple times to try and figure out what was being said. The person speaks really fast and runs everything together, so words get swallowed in the elisons... I guess with more practice it will come, but maybe on the B2 end of B1?
Can you please share the rule regarding placement of 'Ne...Aucun/Aucune' in Compound Tenses?? It does not seem to follow the regular rule. It would be great if it is also added to this lesson.
il raconte une histoire à mon ami- il lui en raconte (or it should be il la lui raconte"?) if it's 2d option, could you please explain why? thank you!
Hello,
I have a tiny question. If I want to say "I thought about her", should I use:
a) Je lui ai pensée
b) J'ai pensé à lui
c) J'ai pensé à elle
Because I notice that for verb + de, we can use "penser d'elle" (think of her), so for the case verb + à, can we use à + pronouns as well (option b,c)? Can we use "elle" instead of "lui" for such case? Finally, can we use option b) instead of a)?
