Since the paragraph was using 'on' consistently, I chose "On y va ..." instead of "Allons-y ...". Why is this wrong?
Why we have "Je donne de l'argent" and not "Je donne l'argent"
1. Ses déclarations étranges auront déconcerté le public.
how to write this in passive form?
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.
I am confused because I thought 2nd and 3rd verbs were always spelled out in full so i put aller here.
- Le soleil se lève dans l'est.
- Le soleil se lève à l'est.
Are both correct? Can you please explain why "dans" is not used? à l'est would mean 'to the east' and not 'in the east'?? - https://www.lawlessfrench.com/vocabulary/directions/
Hi,
I wonder how I should use "pas ... non plus" when there's an auxiliary verb as well.
Thank you in advance.
In the sentence, "Il s'agit de l'un des plus grands bâtiments gothiques d'Europe, dont les fresques finement ouvragées vous laisseront bouche bée d'admiration.”, duquel, referring to 'un', is not offered as a possibility. Why not?
I have let my writing and dictation practice slip because I’m speaking French on a daily basis, but a lesson like this one brings home the need to keep at these weekend challenges, keep practicing, keep adding to the vocabulary bank, keep addressing the grammar.
