I think in informal conversations we say like -
Il est pas jeune
instead of the more formal and more 'grammatically correct' one:
Il n'est pas jeune!
Is it correct !? Responde Sil vous Plait!
what does 'ce sont des amours' mean?
This doesn't come very naturally to me at all. How do I know which verbs should be followed by "à" and thus use lui in these affirmative commands?
Pourquoi "tu es" est-il la bonne réponse ici ?
2Tu ________ demeuré immobile tout le long.You remained still all the way.esas
I am a beginner lever french learner. I have been trying to study a poem by Pierre de Ronsard, 'Quand vous serez bien vielle..'. I have understood the meaning of the rest of the poem but the second quatrain still puzzles me.
Lors, vous n’aurez servante oyant telle nouvelle,
Déjà sous le labeur à demi sommeillant,
Qui au bruit de mon nom ne s’aille réveillant,
Bénissant votre nom de louange immortelle.
I have looked up the meanings of all the individual words and have a rough understanding of the whole but without absolute certainty. I would appreciate if anyone could expound upon this quatrain.
Tu ne vas pas au clup?
....., Je suis allé hier.
Is it correct to use (Si or Non)
What does this mean, kindly illustrate it with an example.
When the subject of your interrogative sentence is a noun, this one comes first and it's then repeated by the matching pronoun
Hi I am a bit confused. I was reading about adverbs and I saw this sentence
Je t'aimerai pour toujours --> I will love you forever
I though the infinitive Te/t' would only follow sentences with Tu at the start. Is there a rule around since it's about someone else the 'Je' bit at the start isn't the subject?
Is there a topic on this specifically for me to understand?
Thanks,
Max
In the following:
ATTENTION
lui means either him OR her (depending on the context)But I've been given the following information which I am struggling to reconcile with:
When you combine personal pronouns with prepositions such as avec (with), chez (at the home of), and pour (for), they change their form.
Daniel habite près d’ici. On va chez lui ? Daniel lives close by. Shall we go to him?
Sarah veut nous rejoindre. Il y a de la place pour elle? Sarah wants to join us. Do we have space for her?
**why do we use elle in the above? isn't Sarah an indirect subject here? "Is there a space [for] Sarah**
