Hi,
I encountered a similar question in the test. In the test, it was:
I would like either money or a present and the answer is J'aimerais soit de l'argent soit un cadeau
I see "de l'argent" is used instead of "l'argent". Is it because this is rather an order than a preference?
But then I wonder, how should I express a preference like:
I like either money or a present
Should I say "J'aime soit l'argent soit un cadeau"?
Hello,
I know the right answer is A. But is it supposed to be ´ Il a fait exprès de ne rendre pas la monnaie.’ ? Instead of ´ Il a fait exprès de NE PAS rendre la monnaie.´
Thanks.
c'est l'ambiance chaleureuse qui m'a plu is translated as it was the warm atmosphere that I enjoyed . Since it is the past tense shouldn't c'etait be used?
Why we have "Je donne de l'argent" and not "Je donne l'argent"
Is the phrasing « but here it doesn’t mean no / any’ » not confusing in the last portion of the lesson, since the entry in this latter part addresses un/une where they earlier indicate de etc being the indicator of no / any…. The « but » should be removed, no?
Would someone please explain to me why you would write "Je me brosse les dents deux fois par jour." in stead of "Je me brosse mes dents ..." I'm uncertain why you couldn't use mes even though you're also using the reflexive verb. Merci!
In english (maybe just NZ?) we use the expression "tell me about it" as a sort of ironic way of saying that you share not-so-good experiences with someone. eg. Speaker 1 - it was so hot last night, I couldn't sleep. Speaker 2 - tell me about it (meaning I had the same experience). Is Parle-m'en used the same way?
Tous les jours, je fais des efforts pour aider la planète. Par example, quand je vais au supermarché, j'apporte mon sac en toile et j'évite les emballages de plastique. Et si j'achète un café à emporter, j'utilise ma tasse réutilisable. À la maison, je ne gaspille pas l'eau et he recycle mes déchets. Quand je ne peux pas faire de vélo, je prends les transports en commun ou je fais du covoiturage.
