Hi, in “Curieuse de nature, je m'y étais aventurée !”, is “curieuse” in its feminine form (as opposed to the masculine “curieux”) because the speaker is female? Am I right in thinking that this is not influenced at all by the female word “nature”?
Why are both of these correct:
"Je n'ai vu Mathieu nulle part." [ne + nulle part]
"Il n'est jamais allé nulle part." [ne + jamais + nulle part]
But not this:
"Je n'ai pas vu Mathieu nulle part." [ne + pas + nulle part]
Why is there a "DE" here? Is the expression "fait de qch"?
I find myself wanting to ask this based on the same question as Joseph K below - where you're given "Anne is having fun at the circus" and "Anne is amusing herself at the circus." as potential multiple choice answers, with only the former being marked correct.
If "Anne s'amuse au cirque" can't mean "Anne is amusing herself at the circus", how would you say that?
Can one say "le jour avant" as well ?
Je manque toujours les point d'exclamation. Il y a un règlement sur le sujet? Comment peut-on savoir pendant la dictée, si un point d'exclamation est nécessaire? On peut entendre un ton dans la voix?
How do you know whether to use "depuis" or "il y a" to express a period of time. These lessons have had "J'habite à Paris depuis cinq ans" and also "J'ai mangé il y a un heure"
