Why can’t it just be où viens tu?
Video blocked for me too. I'm in the Charente.
Mon frère ________ quand on joue ensemble
why me fait mal is correct but fait mal à moi is incorrect ?
j'ai souvent entendu le mot voisinage comme alternatif à quartier - est-ce c'est vrai?
I don't understand why in this lesson the example is given i.e. the ez is dropped from the verb
-Donne-moi les fleurs!
-Give me the flowers!
However, I have been marked as incorrect by doing what seems to be the exact same thing.
Make this statement into an order : "Vous me donnez les fleurs": ________ les fleurs!imperative
· Donnez-moi RIGHT
· Donne-moi WRONG
Is this a mistake on your part or am I missing something here?
I had this example. Why "Et toi, qui est-ce qu' as-tu rencontré?" is wrong? Can't we use qui est-ce que here?
"Je n'ai pas de X."
Should "X" be in the singular form or in the plural? Does it depend on which form it was in in the question?
eg. "Avez-vous une voiture ?" -> "Je n'ai pas de voiture." but "Avez-vous des chaussures ?" -> "Je n'ai pas de chaussures." ?
My answer:
Et, en dépit d'elle, Katia commença à espérer.
Lawless answer:
Et, malgré elle, Katia commença à espérer.
I'm not sure why my answer was not accepted. Appreciate any insight. Thanks!
Why does this question require le subjonctif passé, rather than merely the present subjunctive?Couldn't I just use this?Ils ont besoin que nous arrivions avant le début de la cérémonie
Instead:Ils ont besoin que nous soyons arrivés avant le début de la cérémonie ? But doesn't this translate as "They need us to have arrived before the beginning of the ceremony"?
