Hello. I took a level test, and now the recommended study plan is always in that level. How can I get back to the Kwizbot just making recommendations based on my brain map and not on the level I selected to test?
Hi
I am looking for a lesson which explains how in reflexive verbs in passe compose the past participle does not agree in gender and number with the subject if the object is indirect.
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"?
Il faut que j'aille chercher mes parents
vs. je dois chercher mes parents
vs. il faut que je cherche mes parents
Pourquoi les autres deux réponses ne sont pas correctes?
Hi, could you explain the purpose of the word “à” in the following French lines please?
“if he lost a game that they were playing together.”
“s'il perdait à un jeu auquel ils étaient en train de jouer ensemble.”
“s'il perdait à un jeu auquel ils jouaient ensemble.”
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)
Si les étudiants sont répartis dans le monde entier, pourquoi l'école ne sélectionne-t-elle pas un contenu accessible à tous ? Pourquoi l'école sélectionne-t-elle un contenu dont l'accès est connu pour être limité géographiquement ?
I think a better translation for: "Je tins la robe avant d'aller à la soirée." is , "I wore the dress before going to the soiré" the "correct" translation, "I held the dress before going to the soiré" makes little sense, the response could only be, "Oh?".
Are these two phrases interchangeable or is there a subtle difference in their usage?
I am not familiar with the phrase 'chômée'
