Is "des belles choses" possible? (Or just wrong).
Hello. Can you please explain why is le passé composé used in the first sentence?
"Mon frère et moi avons toujours aimé les jeux vidéos."
I thought this should be in l'imparfait because it describes a habit in the past and not something that just happened for a day, no?
The first time I did this exercise, I wrote "Je vais etre beau et elegant !" Then, I changed it to: "Je vais avoir l'air beau et elegant !", which was marked wrong. Wouldn't the use of the phrase, "avoir l'air" also be correct in this situation?
Merci beaucoup et bonne continuation !
One of the sentences for translation would not play so I had to leave it blank and continue.
If I remind you of your nanny is 'Je vous rappelle votre nounou.' What is 'I remind your nanny of you'? Is it 'Je rappelle vous à votre nounou' but I don't think this is correct!
It would be really great if this VERY important concept of Direct Object could be added to this lesson. - https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/questions/view/wrong-answer-nous-sommes-brosse .
More importantly because, this lesson says this « Note that when être is used as the auxiliary in compound tenses such as Le Passé Composé, the past participle must always agree in gender and number with the subject of the verb.» --- and this statement is not true for this lesson on reflexive verbs as per the link. It creates a confusion. Kindly rectify this incorrect statement and help us new learners with the necessary concept within this lesson, please!
Thank You.
Merci pour cette dictée qui est le sujet de beaucoup de conversations en France aujourd'hui. Je vit aux États-Unis où nous avons eu un problème similaire il y a plusieurs ans. Nous l'avons résolu en élevant l'age de retraite normale jusqu'à 67 ans. Bien sûr c'est difficile de retirer une promesse et il y a toujours des autres choix. Comme France, les États-Unis ont un déficit chaque année. Dans l'avenir quelqu'un doit payer la dette. Qui le fera?
For this Kwiziq question I put: Katie appelle Sonia au cas où elle aurait du retard
It was marked wrong, but I think that should also be accepted? avoir du retard = to be late
Nick
p.s. is it less common to use avoir du retard than être en retard?
As a paying customer of Kwiziq, I wish to be able to have a physical print out of the lessons I want to review. It's easier for me to read than from the computer screen.....
