Just wanted to check if this is a mistake. I found this on Duolingo.
Nous ne nous sommes plus jamais parlé.
Why is the verb parlé not agreed with the reflexive pronoun?
Merci très beaucoup.
Hello, if "la perruque" is female, why its "noir" and not "noire"?
I have been trying to understand what “fixerent” means/where it comes from (please excuse lack of accents in my question). At first I thought the translation should be the two dogs stare or are staring at each other.I then found a conjugation table and found “fixerent” (with the accent over the e) is passé simple.I have only just been moved up to “B2” level on Kwiziq but I don’t understand how the passé simple is used and so don’t follow it’s use within this lesson.Why is it not passé compose using etre?Thanks for your assistance.
It took me a moment to understand this heading - does it mean that 1 Describing and 2 Expressing Opinions are two different uses of l’imparfait? (rather than both describing opinions and expressing them)
J’ai traduit le mot, ’squint’, par ’loucher’ au lieu de ’plisser les yeux’. Le dictionnaire cite tous les deux comme acceptable, mais l’exercice accepte seulement le deuxième. Pourquoi ?
In this article, it says that when talking about specific things we should use il/elle.
Yet in the example, we see a sentence that says:
C'est le fils de Martha
Wouldn't we have to use il est instead of c'est here ? Just how many kids does Martha have that we have to use a generalizing statement like c'est instead ?
Why is this not in Imparfait? It's a description and the family, presumably, continues to love dogs.
Why is there so much emphasis on this when it’s only used in serious written French.
Hi where can get some exercises on this. Also is there a lesson on it? I searched but didn't find any
