Question on a test: “What are all the possible ways to say 3 o’clock” Marked incorrect for NOT choosing the following highlighted answer. Why do I need “de l’après-midi” if I am using “quinze”? Isn’t it obvious that I am speaking of the afternoon?
Il est quinze heures de l'après-midi.the est-ce que sounds really wrong and nasally
Why is this "que l'on" rather than "qu'on" ? I don't understand the "l"
Are these sentences incorrect [see: French is Fun Book 1 / 2020)]? (1) Le père de Roger est un artiste. (2) La mère de Marie est une championne de karate.
So the question was:
How would you say ''You haven't lived here long.'' ?
1. Tu n'as pas habité ici depuis longtemps.
2. Tu n'habites pas ici depuis longtemps.
3. Tu n'habitais pas ici depuis longtemps.
4. Tu ne vas pas habiter ici depuis longtemps.
So the instructions are that with negation depuis is in passe composé, so I picked the answer number 1, but in results this was wrong as they wanted present - answer number 2.
What gives?
What does the "en" in this clause express? Thanks.
... car le bureau de poste local n'offrait plus ce service.
In this section of the sentence the 'S' at the end of 'pluS' is pronounced. This seems at odds with the lesson 'Ne ... plus = no more/no longer' which states: -
Note that when plus has a negative meaning (no more), you don't pronounce the final 's', except when you do the liaison with a vowel following ('z' sound).
... in the exercise plus is followed by 'ce' and 'ce' does not start with a vowel and as such should not be pronounced?
Do you use c'est if a partitive article follows as well?
