Why can't it be - "On ne doit pas que penser à soi." ? [One must not only think about oneself.]
And doesn't this translate to - On ne doit pas penser qu'à soi -- "One must not think that about oneself." (because 'penser que' - to think that)
Please explain.
Thank you! Just a note on the English: it's more idiomatic/natural to say "I get angry easily" (or even in this context "I get annoyed easily"), at least here in the UK.
Merci de m’avoir fait découvrir ce site vraiment amusant. J’y suis abonnée. : )
The question that led me here asked to fill in the proper tense of the verb ‘venir’ in this sentence: Il______heir. I wrote ‘Il est venu heir.’ The correction said the correct answer was Il sont venu. Wouldn’t the ‘sont’ tense be used instead for the third person plural (ils)?
In the sentence "Oui, je me suis maté toute la saison 1 en un weekend," why is the "maté" not "matée"? Female speaker, reflexive verb?
(Also, the pronunciation of "1" in that sentence seems clearly "un" rather than "une".)
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?
Hello, if "la perruque" is female, why its "noir" and not "noire"?
Would it be correct to use the three-layer structure I wrote down below, when building sentences with double pronouns? Imagine it like a matrix with three columns:
ME, TE, SE, NOUS, VOUS | LE, LA, LES | LUI, LEUR
Ex Nous vous | les envoyons demain. | e_m_p_t_y
Ex e_m_p_t_y | Je la | leur explique clairement.
Ex Je vous | la donne. | e_m_p_t_y
Ex e_m_p_t_y | Je la | lui donne.
