Bonjour, je me demande pourquoi il y a tant d’enseignants qui disent que le mot « rendre visite » n’est utilisé que la première fois qu’on rencontre qqn ? D’où vient cette idée ?
Les jambes, elles, étaient vêtues de collants de danseuse, blancs scintillants, que chaussaient de délicats talons hauts, noirs et fins.
...are the high heels the subject and chaussaient the verb and they're inverted? And the "que" that precedes them is referring back to "les jambes?"
It sounds like he’s saying ‘ J’ai ouvert un emballage’, not ‘J’ai ouvert l’emballage’.
Could "bivouaquer" be used to say set up camp?
"En 1941, il est parti rejoindre le Général de Gaulle à Londres"
Is this correct? I wrote "En 1941, il est parti joindre le Général de Gaulle à Londres". Did Michel's oncle rejoin de Gaulle?
Why does this sentence change to the vous form of you?
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"
should it not be "ces sont des amours" rather than "ce sont des amours"?
Hello,
Is there is a reason why some words require a 'consolidated' partitive with the definite article (du / de la) and some only require the 'unconsolidated' partitive (de)? Such as "je bois du vin' vs. nous buvons 2 litres d'eau par jour'?
I am trying to come up with a little rule to make things easier to learn / remember, but it doesn't seem that it works like that.
Thanks,
Alex
I listened to this sentence loads of times trying to see if there was any hint of an ellision ( "je serai z-enfin" ). There was not, and thus I concluded that it must have been "serai" not "serais". Is no ellision used after "serais" ?
