How do you say “Not only…”?
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 have few friends
Are both translations correct?
J'ai quelques amis
J'ai peu d'amis
Regars, John M
Why does he switch from je to on? There is no hint, up to that point, that he will be going with others.
"Je veux rien" marked as incorrect on the test.
I understand it's not the strictly proper, dictionary-perfect way to say that, but it's valid and there was no indication in the way the question was phrased that it was specifically the ne construction I was expected to use -- and nothing else.
Why "populaire animateur de...", and not "animateur populaire de..." ?
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?
My preferred dictionary, Wordreference, distinguishes a car door from an ordinary door in using the word, portière. Should it not be accepted ?
A lot to take in!
In English "the day after", "the next day" and the "the following day" mean the same. Likewise "the day before" = "the previous day". In French, do le lendemain, le jour d’après and le jour suivant /la veille, le jour d’avant and le jour précédent differ from each other in meaning or mainly in register?
Secondly, from the point of view of today, are l’après-demain and l’avant-hier used in conversation?
