I got a question wrong, with more than one fault:
Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux was given as the correct answer, but isn't "brossés" the correct form of the past participle in this sentence?
Please could you explain why prochain is placed in front of 'concert', when it is normally placed after nouns?
Why can’t I say “Je le trouve grossier/irrespectueux?” As the sentence read “I find it disrespectful?”
I would have thought the pastry would have been called "le gâteau" not "le biscuit" --the former is a cake, the latter is a cookie, and a bûche is a kind of cake. Also, do some recipes for la bûche call for spreading ganache inside? I have only read recipes that call for a whipped cream sort of filling, saving the ganache for the exterior. I'm about the make my annual bûche de Noël and wish it were as simple as this version!
Je pense que j'entends "Je prendrai un avion..." au lieu de "Je prendrai l'avion...". Qu'est-ce vous entendez ?
Je ne suis pas sûr qu'il ________. I'm not sure he's coming.(
Je ne pense pas qu'elle ________ compter." I don't think she knows how to count.Why not on est resté
or nous sommes restés
« On » is singular, grammatically speaking, like the impersonal/formal « one » in English, but in the example it appears to be being treated as plural « nous »
I would have thought On est restés was incorrect.
Hi, in “Curieuse de nature, je m'y étais aventurée !”, is “curieuse” in its feminine form (as opposed to the masculine “curieux”) because the speaker is female? Am I right in thinking that this is not influenced at all by the female word “nature”?
It is a lady speaking, so should not the past participle of the reflexive verb se faire agree in gender?
