Hello,
Would you be able to use the 'on' form of the verb in a sentence such as 'my family and I watch a film - ma famille et moi regarde un film' or would it need to be the nous form - ma famille et moi regardons un film?
On the 4th or 5th question, in the english phrase they wish us to translate, at the end of the phrase, there is a point ("."). But when i put the point in my french phrase, it was marked as wrong, causing me to lose points, I assume.
Please fix this error or explain it to me!
Thanks,
Karina
I've encountered this quiz: translate this sentence: "Marie worked for ten hours yesterday". The answer excludes this option: Marie a travaillé en dix heures hier.
Why can't I use the word "en"? It's mentioned here: En vs Dans with time (French Prepositions of Time)
"En expresses the length of time something takes to be done."
Regarding the question ?How could you say "You need a new bike." ??
I think "devoir" would be acceptable as I perceived the possibility the person used the bike as a necessary form of transportation and the bike was either to broken to repair or was used for work. In that case they would really need to replace the bike making devoir acceptable.
Or maybe I'm just reading too much into the questionÉ
How do you say “Not only…”?
I recently saw the expression "Tant bien que mal"
In the context of usage of Que/Qui, what decides the use of 'que' here rather than 'qui' ?
Thank you
- Le soleil se lève dans l'est.
- Le soleil se lève à l'est.
Are both correct? Can you please explain why "dans" is not used? à l'est would mean 'to the east' and not 'in the east'?? - https://www.lawlessfrench.com/vocabulary/directions/
Il doit être le coup d'œil, non?
"... notre équipe allie savoir-faire professionnel et pédagogie bienveillante." Why no definite articles for savoir-faire and pédagogie ? Is this simply the result of the informality of an advertisement? Thanks.
when we say the more X, the more Y...we dont need le or la? to indicate "the" like "the more i run, the more i am happy"
