I notice the recommended translations of 'who herself became Queen of France' are all 'qui elle-même devint reine de France'.
But I assume you could also write 'qui devint elle-même reine de France' ?
Or does this sound less natural to French ears?
I would like to know why retenir means "to learn" here and not apprendre
this dictée made me smile. It's heartening to know that certain domestic issues are universal! :)
The question that led me here asked to fill in the proper tense of the verb ‘venir’ in this sentence: Il______heir. I wrote ‘Il est venu heir.’ The correction said the correct answer was Il sont venu. Wouldn’t the ‘sont’ tense be used instead for the third person plural (ils)?
I noticed that in your audio of "j'étais allé", there is not a liaison. Is it optional?
How does one conjugate a verb when this occurs? Do you conjugate the verb with its form with the subject or of the object?
Why can’t I say “Je le trouve grossier/irrespectueux?” As the sentence read “I find it disrespectful?”
Maintenant or désormais? Also I keep making a mistake with prepositions please let me know I put “couvert de la sueur”.
