Whyis this phrase expressed with negation? il ne peut pas accéder à son argent tant qu'il n'est pas revenu aux États-Unis et n'a pas prouvé son identité.
C'est le vin le plus sec que l'on puisse trouver. À quoi se réfère le pronoun l'?
The phrase in English was "I will introduce her to Amelie" (sorry I don't have accents). The translation given is je lui presenterai Amelie which I take to mean "I will introduce Amelie to her". Should it not be "je la presenterai a Amelie"?
Pourquoi "tu es" est-il la bonne réponse ici ?
2Tu ________ demeuré immobile tout le long.You remained still all the way.esas
It would be really great if this VERY important concept of Direct Object could be added to this lesson. - https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/questions/view/wrong-answer-nous-sommes-brosse .
More importantly because, this lesson says this « Note that when être is used as the auxiliary in compound tenses such as Le Passé Composé, the past participle must always agree in gender and number with the subject of the verb.» --- and this statement is not true for this lesson on reflexive verbs as per the link. It creates a confusion. Kindly rectify this incorrect statement and help us new learners with the necessary concept within this lesson, please!
Thank You.
The very first example given of when to use "c'est" is:
"C'est une jolie robe."
This clearly refers to a specific dress.
But then we are told that the answer to "Tu aimes mon pull?" should be "Oui, il est très beau."
Why is the rule for a specifc dress different than the rule for a specific sweater? Is it that "il/elle est" should be used when answering a question about a specific thing but that "c'est" can be used otherwise?
Si "to go ski" est "faire du ski", pourquoi "would go skiing" n'est pas "faisaient du ski"?
Peut-on dire : qu'est-ce qui est dans la boîte ? Ou faut-il dire qu'y a-t-il dans la boîte ?
I listened to the first phrase many time, and it definitely sounds like she says "et" and not "and."
