This appeared in my test. The question I have is not around the the subject pronoun, but about "ont de jolies poupées". Is this a rule regarding "avoir de"? So whatever object follows it, whether it's singular or plural you always use "de"?
Is there a mistake in the video at approximately the 1:08 mark? The example says:
Je mange une pomme and Tu *parle* à Marie. Shouldn't it be Tu *parles* à Marie?
Hi
I have been taught that à cause de is used negatively. The positive usage is grace à. Whats your opinion?
Again, étonnant is also used negatively or so i have been told. Maybe you wanted use it as such here.
When combining conjugations like ne jamais and ne nulle part, do we keep the nulle part rule of going at the end of the clause?
Example:
Je n'ai jamais nulle part allé
Ou
Je n'ai jamais allé nulle part
I never went anywhere
I used revenir for "coming home". Is this wrong? And when should we use each verb?
Thanks.
PS it's almost impossible to do À - it changes to à
There should have been included in the vocabulary list additional words including
the Halloween characters. These are words that are not part of daily speech.
Like chris w I find this one difficult every time it comes round, due to the English translations given -
1. the English "certain" can carry either of the two meanings described here
2. "particular" also has several meanings, but it’s usually specific and not at all vague. Perhaps some more examples would help?
In the question "Nous ________ les cheveux.” (We brushed our hair) (HINT: Conjugate "se brosser" (to brush) in the compound past (Passé Composé)), why is “nous sommes brossé” preferred over “nous sommes brossés”?
I think that “we” is plural, so the correct response should be “brossés” with the “s”.
