It was in another new year exercise but not this one. Why not?
Why is "elle va ne pas partir" wrong?
Hi, dear forum, I joined yesterday.. I am a French learner and lover of french things.
What is the equivalent of this flower in english?
Pervenche.
Quelqu'un le sait-il ?
Merci en avance!.
Je te le dirai quand tu auras promis de te taire. Where did the pronoun le come from?
"Je n'ai pas de X."
Should "X" be in the singular form or in the plural? Does it depend on which form it was in in the question?
eg. "Avez-vous une voiture ?" -> "Je n'ai pas de voiture." but "Avez-vous des chaussures ?" -> "Je n'ai pas de chaussures." ?
I found I had more difficulty with the punctuation that the words! A lot of English writing increasingly drops commas these days, and it might be helpful to know the French rules! For example, I wouldn’t put a comma before "in Spain" in the first sentence.
"Elle veut que tu fasses la grasse matinée demain matin."
The French name of the exercise is written as ‘“My” liste de courses’
I feel that this is an ambiguous statement and could be passé composé (as the act of transition) or l'imparfait (as a state of being). As in "My mother was Oriental, but my father came from Europe" vs. "They came from Europe to go to the funeral". Compare: "Once upon a time, a king lived in his castle."
