I noticed that an example given above " Elles ne l'ont fait expres" means They didnt do it on purpose. Im wondering why it isnt Elles n'en ont pas fait expres. Doesn't en replace phrases after de?
Bonjour,
I was wondering about the sentence , please explain why this would not be ?
merci beaucoup
Martin
Je ne suis pas sûr qu'il ________. I'm not sure he's coming.(
Je ne pense pas qu'elle ________ compter." I don't think she knows how to count.The example listed in the lesson specifies "a bakery in the town".
Une boulangerie dans la ville.
What if I was speaking in general, such as "Yes, there's a bakery in town."
Would this be translated as "Oui, il y a une boulangerie en ville." ?
Après avoir dû oublier l’habitude anglaise d’utiliser des majuscules pour les nationalités - ce qui est parfois un vrai lutte ! - il semble pervers de les trouver soudainement nécessaires dans cet exercice ! Est-ce qu'il y a une règle pour utiliser les majuscules quand la nationalité fait partie d'un nom d'équipe ?
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”.
"... 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.
shouldn't it be "toutes les glaces" as its femine plural
I can’t find anything in this lesson or links about third person plural verbs. It would be useful to have examples of this as well as the situation of il/ elle + inversion for verbs ending -ter (which is mentioned in a question below). Am I right in thinking the inverted forms are eg achètent-ils and achète-t-il?
Why were my answers marked as wrong? Surely Six millions de dollars & Six milliards de dollars are correct.
