hi, why "L'année prochaine" is femenine in the example:
L'année prochaine, il commence l'université.
Nevermind, I think I just heard it wrong
In 'nous nous étions fait piquer' why does the 'fait' not need to agree with the subject?
in this example, two questions:
Ce sont les meilleures vacances qu'elle ait passées!
1. why "ce" instead of "ces", if vacances is plural?
2. why pasées instead of passée, if the noun is singular and avoir doesn't match in number?
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?
Just querying why it's leurs and not leur here. In a previous dictée I was told that it would only be leurs plural if each of the parties had several of the thing being talked about. Well surely, they each only posessed one "look" which crossed with the other's one "look", so why not "leur"?
ce gars parle trop vite!
What is the meaning of:
S.M.C.?
when referring to the Duc d'Orleans
How do you say “Not only…”?
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."
