He had 83 years (he died at 83 years old).
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?
Since other French speaking countries use words like septante,octante and nonante it would be nice to mention them in the article. I get that you don't want to confuse beginners but acknowledging their existence for those that might have an interest into learning those alternative words might have been neat.
Not really a question and more like a suggestion.
Could anybody help me with the form of the word: 'cochant'?
I have learned third person plural conjugation is cochent, but this word 'cochant' I couldn't find in a dictionary.
As you know, cocher is infinitive form of verb but what about cochant? Please!
The original context: "Répondez aux questions en cochant la ou less bonne response."
Please help me!
The example above "Quel est le meilleur aspirateur?" implies that l'aspirateur est bon, correct? Why would this not be "bien", like the case of "Ma télé est bien" above? It's not food.
The first two sentences have similar structure, a salutation followed by a question or a declaration. However, the first uses an exclamation followed by a question; whereas, the second uses a comma after the salutation and then continues making it all one sentence, If you use the first sentence's pattern, i.e. using an exclamation instead of a comma, this is marked wrong. Please explain, as this is a recurring issue.. Thanks
One of the hardest ones yet! It showed me that I am clearly not ready for a French aerobics class yet, so at least there's that, haha!
Why is "il lui faut de l'aide" - he / she needs some help and "il te faut de l'aide" - you must help? I am getting very confused with this expression!
Why is it sur ordre and not sure l'ordre de Napoléon
