In the sentence, "Je vais me laisser tenter par la deuxième option qui a l'air vraiment intéressante à faire.", the adjective, intéressante, is féminine. I would have thought that this adjective is modifying the word 'air', which is masculine, rather than obliqely referring to the feminine noun, 'option'. Could you explain?
Hello,
Can anyone suggest a best-practices methodology for using the site to improving in a systematic way?
Perforce of circumstances, I'm learning on my own, but hope to get off the B1-B2 plateau that I've settled on via my piecemeal learning.
FWIW, I spend ~15 hours per week studying French.
Thanks in advance,
D
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"?
I think in informal conversations we say like -
Il est pas jeune
instead of the more formal and more 'grammatically correct' one:
Il n'est pas jeune!
Is it correct !? Responde Sil vous Plait!
Hi,
I wonder how I should use "pas ... non plus" when there's an auxiliary verb as well.
Thank you in advance.
In the one question they use 'en': "Il s'en souvient. = He remembers it." I don't see anything in this lesson explaining when we would use en with this verb?
If would have + movement verb uses Être, would this apply to should have and could have versions of the same sentence? Or do they continue to use avoir + dû/pu ?
Why is it "des problèmes" and not "de problèmes"
I am not clear why recommandé has an "s" on the end. As I understand it the "vous" refers to the lady salesperson or her shop (singular) and the nous, although plural, is an indirect object so the participle does not need to agree with that.
